[NLRS] Contest conditions??

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 12:15:40 -0800 (PST)

Whew!  I thought I was going deaf...good thing it is
the band conditions and not me or the
equipment...*LOL* good luck...weird conditions...lots
of heavy QSB...I did hear some 6 trying to open up
early this morning toward the East South East, but it
sounded like lazy scatter with the QSB ...I would have
a solid copy, but as luck might have it, it would drop
out seemingly only on my calls then peak on his run of
calls..Oh well.  The best one yet was working EN 74
this morning on a VERY sleepy CW call.  new worked
2-meter grid.  Yay!
