    This one should be especially entertaining with a Frankenstorm off the East Coast.
    A nightmare whacker scenario is brewing and the HF bands are going to be packed six deep.

    The compromise has been in place for many years. The WARC bands are contest free. Learn to use & enjoy them.

    Well on 17 meters I can use phone. And 160 meters is usually not too bad. I can run an AM roundtable on 160 during most contests. 75 meters is more challenging but it can be done. Of course if its too crowded then you just wait for the contest to be over. Of course there will always be dicks who will piss and moan no matter what because they think they own a particular frequency.

    Well fellers I've had a great contest. I began with my morning ragchew on 75m, then was in and out on 40m while hauling mulch with my dad today, then have been on 40m this afternoon with a couple of other dudes talking football while we've been watching footbaw, and I've not heard one of you cotton-pickers all weekend.

    73 AND GOOD LUCK IN THE COrNTEST!

    haha

    I'm actually bored. Not getting into it this time around.

    I picked up a couple of VKs this morning on 40m. Also a KH6. One that I'd never heard of before; a GM/S (Shetland Island) on 10m.

    So far, 52 Qs and 75 multipliers. Too many other distractions and I'm a little short on sleep. My butt's been dragging all day....

    Lets see....i have.....2 qsos.


    I need to put a few more in there before work. Sunday is usually my best day for contesting since the initial pileups are down, even on rare ones, and i can focus on the final push.

    I worked a few. Lost interest in the microphone. 10M JT65 is packed with signals at the moment. Working some of them now instead.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
