Hello Alan & all from n6ze/7 in cn87tw on Sunday
As one of my attempted missions in my retired life, I try to spread the word 
for VHF/UHF events for experienced VHFers & Neebies alike to encourage 
activity. 
Some postings show up quickly & some never do.
From my summer QTH on Whidbey Island, I made 13 Qs in 4 grids. There was not a 
hint of any opening; I heard nothing on FT8; made 1 FM QSO in another country 
(CDN); & worked 1 guy transmitting in CW. 
I sure wish more people had made the effort to get ON.

  Received this message Sunday (a bit late).  I was on the sprint for about
1/2 hour near 0130, and heard nothing.  Called CQ a few times on SSB and
CW, with no response.  If there was anyone on around here (DM43), they must
have either given up, or just been on FSK-whatever.

  I'm not interested in watching a computer make contacts - I want to hear
voices or CW.  (And before someone says the computer can't make contacts
without a human being, you just haven't compiled the software with the
right added code to do the processing automatically.)
