I didn't know the WPX was going as I usually don't pay attention. Unfortunately during contests 17m usually gets real busy. Is 15m open for you? it's a nice big band so we might be able to find a spot. If not I usually try for 18.120 or 130. But I would doubt they will be busy. Do some checking on your end and shoot me a time and place for either band and we'll go from there...73

Only 75 I'm on 003! I'm pacific Dave is one hour earlier. I'll be on 18.120 or 130 in about 20-30 min I'm a bit behind schedule today. After that my window closes for the honey do list until 3p pacific.
