Comments:
DUE TO MY STUPIDITY, SETTING UP FOR THE ARRL SEPTEMBER VHF CONTEST, AND NO
OPERATORS EXCEPT THE TWO STATION OWNERS WE STARTED THE CONTEST AT 1200Z SATURDAY
MORNING FINDING ONLY 20 METERS USABLE WHICH LASTED ALL DAY. 15 METERS WAS
EXTREMELY POOR FORM THIS QTH WITH ONLY 2 Q's. WHEN THE VHF CONTEST STARTED WE
HAD THREE OPS, ONE ON VHF, ONE ON 20 AND OTHER OP HUNTING FOR MULTS JUST ABOUT
AND BOARD TO TEARS. WHEN 40 METERS OPEN LATER IN THE EVENING WE MAINLY STAYED
THERE BECAUSE WE HEARD VERY LITTLE ON 80. IT APPEARED THAT NUMEROUS OPS HAVE
FORGOTTEN HOW TO CHECK THAT LITTLE BOX THAT SAYS "AUTOMATICALLY SPOT NEW
S&P QSO's." THERE WAS A SERIOUS LACK OF PUT OUTS WHICH HAS NOW BECOME
THE TREND IN ALL SSB CONTESTS. SHAME ON SOMEBODY. ON A BETTER NOTE WE WELCOME
BACK BRIAN, WV8BNM, FORMALLY K3WDC WHO LIVED IN WASHING DC (NOTE HIS FORMAL
CALL) AND HAS NOW MOVED TO WILD AND WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA (NOTE HIS NEW CALL),
WHOM WE HAVE NOT SEEN FOR TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS. BESIDES THE TWO STATION
OWNERS WE ONLY HAD TWO OF OUR REGULAR CREW THIS WEEKEND. WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY
THE REMINDER OF THE CREW WAS ENJOYING THEIR END OF SUMMER VACATIONS OR GETTING
READY FOR THE FALL. N3DPB PREPARED SOME EXCELLENT FOOD AS USUAL AND WE ALL HAD
FUN DESPITE THE PROPAGATION. TNX TO ALL WHO CAME BACK TO US AND WERE PATIENT
WITH US IN GETTING THE REPORT THROUGH. 73 FROM OUR CREW, WA3EKL N3DPB KB3VQC
