[WSWSS] ARRL VHF Poll

[Jack/W7PW]

Neil:

Your post didn't get to my mailbox (from WSWSS) for 12 hours! I was
downloading mail between 6:30 and 6:45 Sunday morning when it arrived.
This happened to me yesterday, on both the WSWSS and NWWSVHF reflectors,
when I posted the request for info on N6DHN! Is there a problem with
"mailman"? The same request to the 'YX reflector posted quickly!

BTW, this is being sent at 6:58AM on Sunday...

Jack, W7PW
