Well last night certainly was a learning experience for me, being on the "other
end" of the FOX circuit...I gained a new appreciation of the entire
experience...as others have reported on other nights, propagation was not the
best at all..."now you hear him, now you don't" seemed to be my typical problem
trying to work stations...
....I had thought of departing from the published schedule if a band appeared to
be "dead" but thought better of it just in case someone was trying to contact
me and the band suddenly "opened" or the qsb "rose to the occasion"...HI
HI...so I stayed with the schedule...
....so here's the log, subject to any corrections of course which I would be
glad to receive via e-mail...
