    Yes. No code machine clowns for me. Just looking to work normal people.

    I only get a chance a couple times a month and lo and behold I get a contest. I was wondering why 40 is glutted right now. Actually, it took a minute or two
    to figure it out

    Did not take long for the usual anti-contest, do it my way contingent to show up. Sorry OM, contests are a fact of life. They will continue to be a fact for the foreseeable future.

    The contest might just offer a chance to work some of those normal people who enjoy a bit of short contest contacts too. Some of us relatively normal folks do that from time-to-time also.

    Of course that depends on how you define "normal"!

    WPX is fun. It's unique in that every new prefix is a multiplier. Since there are only 37 WG7 prefixes, everyone would be glad to work you, Gary. :)

    It's great to hear activity on the bands. It's just after midnight here on the Gulf Coast of Alabama & 20 meters is busy, busy, busy. It has been going pretty silent just after sunset here.

    I can't wait to hear the activity on 15 & 10 meters later-on today !!

    Wow... WRECKING your weekend? you must not have much else planned then, other than a ragchew in Morse or two.

    Me? I've got a ton of family plans and might work a QSO in here and there on Memorial Day Weekend.

    You really should get out more, or quote fewer cliches.

    I just worked Eastern Europe & Africa on 20. They're LOUD.
    When I turned the yagi the other way, Pacific and Asia are also LOUD.
    I wish all my weekends were "wrecked" like that. :p

    We had some plans here, but, it appears that "ALBERTO" is going to ruin all outdoor activity. :(
