I think those SSB twirps moved off. They were up on 09 or 10 and
decided to light up and operate on 'their' frequency while complaining
about an ongoing AM group on 05 that had been there since late
afternoon. They all signed off in the last hour.

Rob, 3725 is a long time Canadian AM frequency. I used to listen to
them on there years before that part of the bad was opened up to us
for 'fone operation. Heard Tim a week or so back with Al, VE3AJM and
some 8 lander who was pissweak. Worked Al for the first time since
moving south, S9 +30. Chatted with them most evenings back up north.

I'm off to give the loading cap a quick bath now that it's been
de-burred, then back to the fun of trying to install it. Space is
tight in the RF deck, but at 200 lbs or more, removing the whole deck
by myself isn't an option anymore. Did it back in the early 90s, still
not sure how!
