[PaQSO] 15 and 10 meters

[Herb Krumich]

The Murgas Club screwed up this year in not relaying enough info to our operators prior to the contest. We always set certain times to operate on two meters, ten meters, and fifteen meters. With lack of communication between members we lost many contacts.
Next year we will be setting thirty minute segments for those operations. 
The contest would be better served if all stations in the state follow our published times. 
We have lost the importance of our quieter bands. I am sure  from my QTH in north east Pennsylvania, I could work many stations on ground wave in the western part of the state on 10 or 15 meters.
The big scores in the contest is important, but the amount of stations that participate successfully even with "ten contacts" is much more important.
Stay warm this winter.
