[CountyHunters] Some advice please

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 08:44:47 -0600

OK Buck,

Thanks for the info.  I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems that a
certain segment of the ahm poplulation doesn't approve of the nets to
acquire states of dx o, counties or anythig else having to do with awards.
I haven't decided where I stand yet.  I don't know how you could obtain some
of these counties without the net either.  I just bought a new HF base
station and plan on a HF mobile pretty soon,  probably in Febuary.
