good idea, Fred. maybe those of you who would be interested in trying a 40
meter sked will jump in here and let us see how many of you there are.
stations on the west coast may not hear us, but they would hear one another.
of course, they might hear us in the early morning or late evening. 7.050
would be a good calling frequency, although we will have some competition
from the skcc operators in january when they will be running the KY3
contest. I can work the 2's, 3's 9's some of the 1's and 4's, some 0's and,
of course, the 8's around noon from here in michigan. I'm not sure about 5
land and 6's and 7's are probably out of my range. I wonder how that
compares to the rest of you 40 meter ops. other suggestions please.
73, Bob K8MXC
