[SixClub] WOW WHAT A WILD DAY ON SIX!

[Rental Cars LLC John Carson]

Couldn't stand not to get in on this...

That is the joy and the dispair of working 6 meters, when it's there, it's
there with a mere try, when it ain't it just ain't no matter how tall or
elaborate the antenna and no matter 5 watts or a 1000.

When the 6 meter gods are happy, we are all happy! In the end you deal the
hand you are delt.

Happy Hunting!
