[OKDXA] 5H licensing..

Tue, 23 Mar 2004 09:15:11 -0600

Thanks, Jim!  We found it.

She's still contemplating if she wants to tackle this. I let her listen a 
bit to the TJ pileup last night, which was one of the messier ones I've 
heard in a while, complete with policemen. The example wasn't meant to 
scare her off, but to demonstrate what she might expect. I need to find an 
SSB pileup so she can hear that, too. Some ops have a knack for SSB pileups 
but, alas, I'm not one of them. They're such a free-for-all that I have 
difficulty finding the station being worked by the DX and so have trouble 
figuring out any pattern.

If she takes anything, it will certainly be QRP.  Who knows? This may limit 
who can hear her, and so naturally limit the pileup a little.

73,

Kim Elmore, N5OP
