[SADXA] Six meter fun

[n7ws at yahoo.com]

I mostly worked 20-meters.  935 Qs.

I wasn't even going to participate since we have out of town guests.  At the last minute they made sleeping arrangements that permitted some operating time, but I still only worked about half time.  About 1100 Qs total all by myself, not even a voice recorder.

Sorry to hear that about K7RST.  I was working 10m for them (we made 573 10m
QSO's), and the 6m guys were right behind me, but I wasn't paying any
attention to what they were doing.  I'll be sure to remind them that the
calling frequency should not be used that way, in hopes that it won't happen
again, but some operators certainly have a tendency to
 ignore calling
frequency protocol.  If they were doing that on 6m, then it's likely that it
was the same story for the other high bands as well.
I must say that Field Day contacts are no where near as fulfilling as good
DX!  Got home this afternoon and worked Senegal and St. Maarten on 20m, now
I feel better.
