[PaQSO] Propgation for Next Weekend's PAQP

[Hank Greeb]

Tim:

Lettuce prey that propagation is as good for the PAQP as it is for the 
CQP this weekend.  I've been having a ball running 5 watts to my 
inverted v antenna, proven to be "somewhat better than a dummy load 
buried 6' under ground."  Made quite a few contacts on 15 and 10 metre 
CW and SSB - nothing about which to write home, but not bad for this LID 
with a fairly low wire antenna. :)

But, don't stick on 10, 15, and 20 metres all the time for the upcoming 
PAQP - propagation probably won't be that short for the hop between 
Michigan and PA!

GL in your efforts es hope 2 cu next weekend.
