[PaQSO] (no subject)

[Bob Crossland]

I can only imagine, Bill.  I've thought about trying QRP but I don't
think I have the patience.

I must say, however, that many of the QRP stations within PA have HUGE
signals, some of which are portable operations using dipoles.  Must be a
matter of picking the right spot, and high trees.

No matter what they do, or don't do, I'll be there next year.

Bob, N3FR

I'll tell you that we really work for that x2 mutiplier, though!

A lot of times, Hal (W3USA/m)will work 40 stations in the time it takes
me to work 12-15!
