Nice PR for contesters
It was nice to read this on the ARRL Web site today.
Hurricane Watch Net Manager Mike Pilgrim, K5MP,
said he was pleased to report that participants in the IARU HF World Championship contest July 9 and 10 posed no problems for the HWN, although less-than-optimal band conditions and solar flares did complicate things.
"We received total and complete cooperation from the contesting community and were left with virtually a clear frequency on which to conduct our business," Pilgrim said. "Thanks to all those who demonstrated their respect for and belief in the ultimate value of Amateur Radio Service--our ability and dedication to render support and assistance during times of emergency."
