Hey, a couple of times, that was probably me who didn't understand it at
first.
Actually, I told Bill beforehand to move me for the Q, and whoever was
operating on 15m moved me to 20m, and on 40m to 80m. So, you got 2 extra
Qs from me.

I heard you guys once on 10m, and then you disappeared before I could
call. I wonder if this was one of those times.

I did a M/2 at W4WA's place with Ron and N9HZQ. We did that constantly.
All the time trying to move Qs, not just mults.
I did get moved this time by a few M/2 stations who did this. It is sorta
weird to hear a CQ just as you change bands, but in all but one case, I
managed to deliver the contact.
