I just got back from a surprisingly enjoyable (due to lack of QRN and
accompanying brain
fuzz) session on 15/10M! Due to family acitvities , I'll not be able to finish
the WPX
on Sunday (DARN!) but at least I helped the cause and gave a few WR3 mults to
the
group!
Anyway! Since a previous guy mentioned Popkin-grams, I thought this might be
of
interest. I noted, early on in the contest, that W2CC spotted OD5/OK1MU at
21448 (I
believe) and made the comment that 'I'm licking my stamps! ;-)'
I have to wonder.. given the history he has.. was he doing it to WARN us NOT to
work the
guy cuz of the proximity to the upper band edge OR was he telling us about the
mult so
we WOULD work the guy and he could then enjoy sending out another boatload of
'grams? I
don't know.
If you were one of then many that worked the OD1 then you may just be graced by
a
Popkin-Gram! If so.. fret not. Frame it and consider it as your membership card
to an
elite group. I don't know what rights and perogatives you can acquire from
having one..
but they are unique, none the less! :-)
Anyway.. sure heard a lot of familiar calls from this reflector on the air and
worked
abuch from WR3L. Great to hear you all!
