Topband: Sprint Stew Perry coming up tomorrow

[David Raymond]

A thought. . . for those of you who may be running QRP or have modest 
stations with less then optimum antenna systems, please remember to give 
your call *multiple* times if the other station is having trouble 
getting your call.  There are many stations eager to get you om yjr log 
that have multiple potent options for receiving. . . different arrays, 
different directions (DX paths sometime shift), different combinations 
of diversity, etc.  It takes time too sort through all of that and find 
the "magic" combination.  While propagation hasn't been the best let's 
get on and have fun!
