    A very good idea. I'll bet not very many know about it unless they are
old timers. A lot of people were preoccupied with the Washington State
Salmon Run last weekend. Most activity was on 80 and 75 because of the skip.
I wonder how many would have taken time out to  help if they had been aware
of what was going on. Contesters are good operators. I am one myself. But,
emergenies first. Constesting second.
