Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because many of us are fed up with mounting a weekend FD operation just to make endless numbers of contacts with locals every two hours? I certainly am. So much for distance-based scoring. Working bucket-loads of locals every couple of hours ain't my idea of a contest.
Instead, my itinerary for the weekend will be:
Saturday: Take my son and grandson to a vintage machinery rally, followed by a wedding anniversary celebration (enough of that, you lot! I'm a grandfather!)
Sunday: Play bluegrass music with friends at a local brewery. No contest, as it were!
Never thought that would happen, after more than 40 years of VHF hammin'!
