a funny thing happens when you ask if a freq is in use - you will get 2 replies
that it is infact in use and then you will hear 2 guys call CQ. bottom line,
everyone is an oppurtunist when it comes to finding a clear run freq.
the big dogs win over us little guys and until i get an amp, i'll have to be
content to be pushed around. it's a hard knock life this contesting, i'm just
glad i'm not black and blue from the beating i take...
