Comments:
Got in for two hours with John Warren's call (NT5C) to add to the Mults. Thanks,
John. On Saturday, I tuned for some friends and called CQ on ten meters, whick
was open. Nice action there. Limited pile ups because the propagation was
spot-light spotty.
On Sunday afternoon, I called CQ on twenty meters and immediately had a huge
"fresh meat" pile up, apparently from a packet spot. Everyone was exactly on
the same frequency and I spent the first twenty minutes trying to separate one
or two letters. There were stretches of ten minutes at a time when everyone was
zero-beat and I had to pick off the stations on the edges, or had to to back to
the packet spot pile and ask for one or two letters, and usually had five
stations with none of those letters call. Not a great experience for high level
operating. But it was fun and it underscored the changes that packet makes for
the poor souls at the other end of the pile up.
