Re: Clock #119 - By the Skin of my Teeth!
David, K9DWR
I did most of mine on 40m, but that’s just what my setup is limited to. I’ve managed to squeak out a handful on 80, but the rig forces that to QRP so YMMV.

Re: Clock #119 - By the Skin of my Teeth!
Mike Besemer <mwbesemer@...>
I'm wondering how the bands are at those hours. I'd hate to stay up/wake up only to be greeted by nothingness. Seems like not too many folks are on 80 meters (a shame I think... 80 was good for me at PSKFest), so I'm guessing 40 meters is the band of choice.

Same happened here. I did not ever register the message that the scorer was fixed. Another year older and a whole new world of things to forget. HNY to all Barry

Don’t forget, when we shift back to DST, the local time will shift to the left relative to zulu time. That makes some squares easier and some harder; good to plan accordingly.

I think that there were a couple of emails about problems with the scorer, so I postponed uploading. Then forgetfulness asserted itself. Tom 815
