[WSWSS] 5760 MHz. Activity for Sept ARRL Contest.

Wed, 6 Aug 2003 22:07:34 -0700

Hi Paul,

It was a hoot working you as well. The Rovers like yourself are the ones
that really make the contest, BIG, for me! You rovers put in so much
effort and make the contest so much more interesting than it used to be;
rather than sitting around on Sunday afternoon trying to milk blood out
of a turnip, you folks put new energy into the contest!

Thanks for your efforts!!!

Dave Smith / W6TE

I am working on 5 Ghz but doubt that I will have it ready by September.

N6TEB/R is also working on it.

Thanks for all the Q's during the test.  I had a great time working you 
and look forward to September!
