Topband: TB season

[James Rodenkirch]

Sigh ---- guess I stand admonished for even THINKING about leaving Top Band off my list of "bands to check every so often during the Spring, Summer and early Fall months."
 
Will there be SOME communication opportunities, even with my puny QRP signal????  
 
I'll keep it all goin' along, albeit I may lower my three 25' top loading NORD-shaped wires!
 
Can't stand to be left out!  Hi Hi
 
So, if'n you "big guns" hear my peanut whistle PULEEZ don't blow me off as you have in the past....if you're calling "CQ DX" and hear my peanut whistle, stop who ever you're attempting "to do" and at least say "Hi" and give me the requisite 339 RST, OK?
 
I'll continue to be a lurker.....72, Jim Rodenkirch, K9JWV
 
P.S. hope to meet some of you at this year's FDIM with at least one day devoted to the Hamvention.
