Soapbox :
Wow, what an exercise in frustration. Using /MM instead of /3D2 since no Fiji
license, and I was at sea in ZONE 56..
" ....no, NOT ZONE 06, it's ZONE 56, really!!!......No you have the call
correct.......yes ZONE 56.......roger roger roger
......."
Nearly every one of the 156 Q's challenged the zone, telling me I was in zone
6. (Only ones who didn't were the
terrific ops at WRTC.......course zones weren't mults for
them!!!) Couldn't get any rate going with 100w and a rando
m length wire (insulated backstay on the boat), even with th
e zone 56 "amplifier effect".....great contest, though, and
those WRTC ops, wow, the few I could hear, were doing an awesome job
. All of them sounded very equal from down under. 73, K7ST/MM, in
zone 56.....REALLY!!!!!
