[Fists] 40 Meters

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 09:38:43 -0600

Why are Fists so obsessed with crowding in already crowded
areas? Why not use the acres of free and open land on 80 and
160m?

At that time last night, there was very little activity on
those two bands. Lets use it or lose it!

BTW Stan, thanks for the previous qso's on 15 and 20! :-)
