[SixClub] Grid expeditions/activations

[DONALD PRICE]

Funny... Myself, Don K4ONE and George KO4QR both live here in FM26 and are 
both ACTIVE on 6m..
We both regularly are on 50.125 calling.. very rarely any response... you 
don't need a grid expedition here.. you need people on the bands... just my 
2 cents worth guys.. Don
