[SixClub] 6m Tropo

[Richard J. Fiero II W5TFW]

Karl,

 IMO,  I think you are just asking to much of 6 meters just yet.   YES you 
hear BIG stations working  openings, but  these guys are running  Large 
ANTENNAS some times arrays !

 not to mention amps,.........   Hang in there,....... we are STILL just 
coming up out of the bottom of a very LONG  dry spell,.......  Your time 
will come,....  you will be inundated
with contacts as the cycle improves.

                                                                             
               Joey

                                                      Richard J. Fiero II

 LIFE'S   TOUGH !

 It's even tougher, if you are STUPID !
