[TVARC] 3YOJ

[John Ellis]

Greetings all,

When you consider it's the second most wanted
entity in the world, it's going to pull out all the rats
and lice that there are out there. We are going to
see the worst of the worst operators, especially on
phone.

I think our best chance of working them is going to be
on the higher bands on FT8. They're going to be running
multiple streams in the F/H mode so, IMHO, that's going
to be our best opportunity and that's where I am putting
my money!

Good luck to all, and if you get'em, be sure to report it
on the spotting network that we have here in The Villages.

73,
John, NP2B
