[SixClub] Might this mean Saturday is a big Six-Day?

Right on Joey. 

eQSL exists so those that can't wait 3 days for a postcard from ARRL to
complete the LOTW registration process can have some pretty pictures to look
at. That's all it's worth. I got a giggle out of hearing a local guy say he
had DXCC via eQSL. I ask him how he did that? He said he got 100 eQSLs and
that he printed them and put in an album, which he showed me. I respond with
'Nice pictures. Where's your DXCC certificate?" to which he answers "What's
a DXCC certificate?" Told him to take a look at the ARRL website :o

Hope this flare and CME stirs up some good 6M activity but I'm not counting
on it. Been dead around here except for a couple of nice openings over the
4th holiday period.
