[NLRS] Wild Contest Tidbits...

Mon, 20 Jan 2003 15:09:39 -0600

On the occasions that I can listen to 6m during the day....(hey... I have a
day job that gets in the way of being on the radio during day) I think that
6m is open more often than we think.

The problem is that you need to be near the radio or you will miss it. The
openings are often so short that they are gone in less than an hour.

I envy people that can work from home or are retired and have the
opportunity to be near the radio to listen to the band.

Oh well.... if it was easy, it won't be as much fun.
