Topband: Last news for 3C6A

[Herb Schoenbohm]

You guys are a bunch of whiners....as an even an hour on 160 at 2300 
would have been good for openers with a another shot after the contest.  
Now you have forced by public pressure a possible new country to remain 
off the band for a later date and wow...isn't that wonderful after a 
weekend of non-stop contesting many of us will be in excellent shape to 
spend another night after the contest ends to try and break the EU wall 
of callers!  Would it not be better to try a least for an hour at our 
local sunset?  Tropical static and poor conditions could spoil 
everything after March 5th and you will never know what might have been.

Thank you so much!.......The big guns rule on TB in more ways then just 
having just big signals and huge stations..... they can keep a new one 
off the air because it may not be convenient to their schedule.  I would 
rather have the big guns up in the phone bands working the contest and 
the those who know 160 would have avoided the 3C0E frequency or choose 
to work some CW.
