[MRCG] Tonight's net, and wondering about schedule adjustment.

[Tim]

Hi Guys - Anyone tried 160 lately?  As the critical freq falls rapidly at
sunset, maybe 160 would be OK, compromises considered....?  Some rigs can't
get there..

I have been having fun with the GRC-109 on 7050 KC CW in the afternoons.
In the past 4 days of *very* occasional ops I have worked 11 states from
Tennessee to Hawaii.  Ops into SOCAL and local CENTCAL are very solid  up
until around 1700.  I even worked Andy with his WS-18 yesterday (78
miles).  Maybe the first WS-18/GRC-109 contact ever?  HaHa
I decided I would try to Work All States with the '109 on the 7050 KC
Crystal and a dipole...

Happy New Year!
Tim
