[SixClub] Sunday/monday

Zeb...

I know how it goes, sometimes all you can do just ain't enough!
Anyway, try and post as much in advance where and when you will be
operating and I for one will be listening for you CQ...Hopefully we will
hear you, after all Oklahoma is a bit down hill from Idaho!

Would have been neat to catch you while in 2 grids!
