That is, if you've been listening a while. If just happen on the frequency, and you hear him work a 1 then a 2, you might think he was not listening by numbers at all, and dump your call in. That's why I think it's better to work at least a few from each call area. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [email protected] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
