FW: FW: [Elecraft] Call CQ!

[Denise&Werner]

Hi Willis

You must have looked me up to see if I did any contests. Hi.  
I enjoy some of the contests but I still work sometimes 7 days a week and
drive 2 hours to work so I am guilty of not rattling the trees myself at
times. Sometimes if I am busy but close to the radio it is amazing how many
ragchews I get just by accident by having the radio on but not searching.
On to the contesters, I don't hear the same calls on a regular basis that I
hear on the contests. Maybe they use special call signs for contests and
their own for casual operating. 
The other thing I have noticed is the strange propagation where I seem to be
the one in a hole with nobody else to hear me.
Anyway, in a nutshell, Contesters rock and so do ragchewers. When I get to
do cw fulltime (retire in 4.9 years I hope) I for one am going to do my part
in keeping the band busy.

By the way Werner, thanks for the contact in the ARRL
10 meter contest.
