Personally, I have an exchange set up in N1MM that covers both, which I
hope will not be excessively burdensome for anyone. It's possible I'll be
the only station on 160 in this grid so maybe the rare mult will ease the
pain of hearing "ON" in the exchange. :>) I'll have a second computer setup
with the SP log and enter the Qs as they happen. Given my 102-foot G5RV at
about 40 feet over solid granite 160 was very good last night, although
some stations that were *loud* here could not hear me so I missed at least
one mult.
Good luck to all.
