   I found the mike, and caught one of the ops on 21295 simplex;   
   that's number 191 worked for me.  It was my first phone ops   
   in 3 years, and I think a general dislike for SSB pileups   
   is part of why I went inactive for a while.  I've been in   
   some RTTY pileups and even a few PSK pileups, but for some   
   reason the digital pileups seem much less frantic, and much   
   easier on my system.   
      
   Not so many "cops" yelling "HE's working UP, you LID!" for   
   one thing.  :-)  I've really enjoyed PSK; hope more   
   expeditions to exotic places will be including it when   
   they plan their modes/bands.
