[50mhz] Fwd: Re: [FFMA] EL84...A Grid Bandits DXpedition.....

Tue Jul 9 18:57:49 EDT 2013

Yes, I know....it has been an unusually difficult summer for all of us.   I have not 
heard ANY Carib stations from here at all, and usually I at least have one or two 
openings to KP4.   But we just have to be watching the chat pages and their 
frequencies whenever we can.   All you need is an opening lasting a couple minutes or 
less - and that could be caused by anything making the link.   GL and please spread 
the word!   VY 73, Lance

Just watch the map and see what it looks like for the SW corner of the US.  Doesn't mean we aren't listening.  Just not hearing anything.  No its not my coax or rig either!
