Topband: The Stew

[Tim Shoppa]

Rick - you were very loud here. Also out on the left coast was K7RAT coming
in very clearly too. I think you two were the only "coasters" I found. I
had a fair number of 7 pointers not on the coast.

If you want a simple easy to maintain directional loop, I strongly
recommend a K9AY.

Last night I would sometimes stop and listen to NO3M running the far west.
Very very rarely could I hear the guys he was working!!
