[NLRS] Six meter dx.

[Eric and Angie Shook]

I can understand with what Jon was saying.  He didn't
seem to be running the pileup well.  I can remember
when I lived in Michigan, while I was on HF, that
Europe and Africa wanted West coast stations and Asian
stations wanted the East coast.  The midwest does get
forgotten a lot.  There are many times that I wish
that I was a 0 instead of KT8(Zero), which some people
say.  Go figure.

I am still amazed at what 6m has to offer.  Just when
I was forgetting about 6m and excited about 10ghz this
happened!

Thanks Chuck (K0SQ) for the explaination on what is
going on.  I will keep my radio on.
