I was there for about an hour, Activity was non existent and the band was open for 600 mile radius or more. CAUSE I checked Reverse Beacon spots for K9TF. I was listed there by the skimmers. I was forced to work 80 and 40m until a spot for some one else was spotted on 160m. One way around this is to make a bogus spot for some one that’s not even there or not even a ham on the same Freq of different one. Another way is to call a friend on the phone or radio and have them spot you on packet. If this is not acceptable consider that some one can do the same thing on a repeater and ask them to QSY to a simplex Freq and work you, which is done all the time.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jim Borowski K9TF<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt'>Sent from my Microsoft Surface<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
