~~ mutter - freakin' GD mouse ~~

I was totally bored this afternoon waiting on Mrs. Wave to return from
one of her numerous meetings. So I fired up the FT-1000D and put out
a call.

I hot spotted JA land at the lower end of 20 meters - 14.004.00 MHz.
Had a pile up going and had to work split - up five just to hear
through the noise.

MN must be a very popular prefix - must not be a lot still active
because they were all prefix hunters. Snagged a few Alaskans and a
coupel of Canadians in the NW Terrority. I wasn't even using the beam
either - just the G5 oriented NW/SE.

83 in an hour. My fingers are sore.

Now I have to design and print new QSL cards. :)
