> Didn't hear Nelson on eleven, but maybe he'll try today.

The Varmint didn't want to load the Slob-Duster and the echo box / roger
beep thing in the RoadStalker 40 (with "secret" channels) wasn't keying
reliably. Musta' had some water in my D-104...

Aside from W5OK and some LID named RED in Creek County trying to QERM me on
14.243 around 9pm, I managed about 70 Q's on Friday... Mostly domestic with
a little DX thrown in. Ol' Jerry wasn't kidding about his run between 11pm
and Midnight. He's up on 14.260 working the Coaxial Islands and 5U4G in New
Slobovia as fast as he can log 'em while I'm on 14.257 working insomniacs
from New Jersey who are just looking for someone to talk to... It was like
we were flying commercial and one of us was in First Class while the other
spent a lot of time eating static and calling CQ.

In other words, it's business as usual here at Open Fuse Acres...

We Be AC5UP (QRZ?)
