[Wswss] ANOTHER Rare CA grid active!

[kr7o at vhfdx.com]

Tonight I worked W7OJT/p in DM24ul on 6m meteor scatter.  We tried on 2m 
tropo afterwards, but no luck (It was already 11:30PM PDT).  Dave said he 
will be there through this Saturday and he is there once a month.  He is 
running an FT100 into a 5el CC yagi on 6m and 350w to 17el on 2m.  Check 
out http://www.pingjockey.net/cgi-bin/pingtalk to setup a sked with him or 
check the calling frequencies.  Dave is based out of Vegas.

Two new grids that I have been chasing for 10 years in the course of two 
days!  If you guys haven't checked out what you can do with WSJT, you are 
missing out on a lot of good DX activity.  Also note that K9KNW has been 
roving the US and is on every morning on 2m from 12-1400z.  He is currently 
in WA and is coming down through CA.  I have picked up three new grids on 
2m from Joe in the last couple of weeks!
