You described my situation to a T. How long have you been blessed with the
poser of ESP. Why I'll bet you don't even have to turn the rig on to work
the contest:-)
Judging by events of the past few weeks I live in "thunderstorm alley."
Those events included a direct hit on the pole pig in front of the QTH and a
couple of hits in trees a half mile behind the QTH. Also, I was invited to
the wedding of N0AMI's daughter which is 1 PM on July 15, 2000. And, as for
the 100 watts, I never understood why they changed the rule. In spite of
those events and circumstances I will be on for NAQP RTTY. I usually run in
NAQP SSB with the TCG Teams and I'm trying to stir up interest in a TCG NAQP
RTTY Team, but so far only one possible other than me.
You think your in the midwest? The true midwest is defined as a state that
is bordered by two major rivers, namely the Mississippi and Missouri.
As for a name there are several I've thought of that can only be used
between the hours of 11 PM and 6 AM.
73 CU in the test, be it on a team or solo.
73 DE W0ETC
