[Fists] is KN0WCW on?

[goemans]

Hi gang,
  Well, the list has been quiet, so I will post; has anyone heard KN0WCW/6
since last Friday, should have been on. Maybe crappy prop from CA to WI is
to blame?
  My XYL and I recently took a week-long vacation in the Northwoods near
Minocqua, WI  (Oneida County) and I did take along a QRP rig to do a little
hamming! Casual operating with my Elecraft K1 at 4 watts to an end-fed
random wire up a tree next to the cottage, or a Pacific Antenna PAC-12
portable vertical, netted me 46 contacts, of which 16 were FISTS members, 14
were QRP, and 10 were DX. Special QSLs have just been mailed to all.
My best DX was Jacky 3B8CF worked on 30 meters!
  Also John VK4TJ and I completed a sked this morning on 40 mtrs at 1200Z.
John is looking for more stateside FISTS contacts to finish his platinum
award.
