[Fists] 30m, anyone??

[Thomas G Dolph]

I've worked you before, Dan.  We could do it again if you
want, but NW Illinois to Ann Arbor might be a little short
for 30m nighttime.

I've only got two stns on 30m:
W0SZF Verle NE 3/5/02
K4BX/QRP Bill TN 1/24/03

As you can see I don't have much luck there myself,
but it could be a great band if there were more activity.
They do not have contests on 30, 17, or 12, so that 
would make them good for the weekends.
