Reminds me of a phone Sweepstakes incident from K5RR in the sunspot low
of the mid-80's. On Sunday afternoon 20M was the only game & it was
wall to wall. Stumbled across a group finishing a phone patch and
bemoaning the fact they will have trouble keeping the frequency clear
for their next patch in two hours.
"Hey guys - this is K5RR - I'm running a KW & stacks east & west -
I'll keep it clear - just jump in when your ready for the next phone
patch."
One of the clearest frequencies I've ever had with a pack of
"phone-patch" guard dogs to chase off the guys who moved in too close.
As promised, I reliquished the frequency when asked, with big time
thanks.
See - contesters & non-contesters CAN co-exist!!
