I was called in to work..but apparently didn't miss 'too much' North of
the 49th from what I hear ! Was hoping for a 'Peaceful Sunday
Contesting' while the XYL and her Sis went away for the weekend..but
never panned out ! Also Dan, a lot of the 6M gang is now using their
'Dongles' (I know, that does not sound nice to the uninformed) to watch
6M for signals !
I gotta 'get me one of them as well' ! I have a pair of 'Memory
Keyers'..but still prefer to 'pound it out myself' ! 73
Hope everyone else at least had 'some Prop' ! C Ya 'Next One' !

Call CQ. Call a lot. Use a voice keyer, it makes the contest much more
enjoyable. Many casual operators will turn on the rig, tune across the band
a few times, hear nothing and turn off the rig... Keeping the voice keyer
going adds activity. Just don't do it on the call frequency :-)
I didn't get to play in the CQ-VHF. A couple of hours worth of pre-contest
antenna work ended up taking all weekend! But, I now have an A50-6s, and a
2M5WL up at home. And I replaced a couple of band runs of feedline.
