[VHFcontesting] Anyone interested in grids CN70, CN71

[Paul Kiesel]

Just a short note that it's much better to take larger antennas whenever possible in order to QSO those stations that are at difficult distances. I am at a difficult distance from those grids. Small antennas will not cut it for me. I may have to wait until someone takes large antennas and makes a concerted effort to work stations such as mine.

Paul, K7CW
