[CW] 80 mts open

[Anthony W. DePrato]

We i just checked 80 mts again and the band is open a little now. did hear 
s59zz calling cq contest and about 9 qso's going on. of course the pactor 
and other modes are taking up the upper section of 3.5mhz.trying over and 
over to connect to each other. . It is all said an done now be it  right or 
wrong.  i think everyone knows i am a cw op and how i feel about this gift 
they dumped on us.
so let it be, lets just operate cw and keep going as we all know when 
another big storm or flood strikes all the cell phones computers winlinks 
pactor wont help most of them will be down or will die when the backups go 
south. when the qrn is 10 over s9 and those digital stns that are still up 
will be retrying their transistors out. The cw ops will once again be the 
ones who get the tfc thru. sad thing is now there will be less of us to do 
that. at least we still have 30 mts for now.
cu on the bands
