Topband: 3C0L

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I would agree on the huge pileup and very very poorly behaved.  I guess 
people still can't copy their own calls.

He was decent copy and then would dive into the noise and come back.  I 
just got my 8 element circle back up but I am not sure it is operating 
right as sometime they were stronger on the Inverted L.

K0EU got them and maybe AA0RS but I didn't hear many others in the area 
get him.  I never did.
