|    Six Meter ops - Please QSL    |
|    10 Jan 07 12:30:30    |
      From: CL@nowhere.com              Well I jumped on six meters a few years ago       Worked all 50 states except KY       Sent SASE's to all states and over 120 Grid square contacts              Only 60% of the Grid Squares have come back - Sent 18 Months Ago              Of the states -- all came back except WY and RI              In todays mail my SASE to WY came back -- 3 and half years after I sent it !       Oh well at least I got it              For RI after a year -- sent another SASE -- no return. After another year --       made up a QSL card for the guy along with an SASE -- no return. Only a few       thousand Hams in RI and I am on the west coast. Could be years B4 I catch       another.              So if you work six meters it is important to QSL, the award managers want       the cards as proof.              Working all states on six is achievable -- but not easy - could take several       years.              I gave up on 100 grid squares VUCC just such a poor QSL return              Grouse and complain              CL looking for KY on 6              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
