    The nice thing about a contest...

    Is that it proves the lie "the bands are DEAD!" to be just that - a lie.

    Watching the fun on my R-820/SM-220/BS-8 at the moment. Tuning is centered on 7.200 and it's wall to wall signals all across the phone portion.

    Any Islanders working this one?

    No. Contests are de ebil.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Take it to the system!

    My next two big purchases were either a KX3 or a winch, and the winch won. But I may be back on HF by next spring...

    Just worked the local eleven cities provincial contest representing my hometown Sneek, on 40 from local 11.00 AM to 14.00 .

    The only contest i do each year because i'm the only one here with a decent reception, normally 80 meters is used but some wanted to try 40..... back to 80 next year it is.
