i've been seeking them and have all but 3 so far. From my QTH in
Pennsylvania, 40 meters is a great band for this. But, I have to say, the
quality of the phone ops has been disappointing. I think its mainly just
inexperience, but some of them sound totally befuddled. And I'm talking
about the special event ops themselves. Guess I'm getting more curmudgeonly
every day. 73 and happy Independence day. Lou WA3MIX
