Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, June 4, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
Seems like WB0NPM is the winner, I had a QSO with him. We also had KE7RTV there although I couldn't hear him NPM was relaying between us. Made a couple of other contacts with non BITX folks as well.

Strange night on the BitX net yesterday, solid contacts with W1LY and AD0RW, Rhode Island and Iowa from Cleveland Ohio off the ends of my dipole? An almost-contact with KC9LIF but static crashes
