[600MRG] Fw: Getting Startedv on 600 Meters

[K2ORS]

John, Ed,

   We have been getting on 1.885AM at 8PM Eastern Sometimes Jay W1VD and Dex 
W4DEX join in. Now  it is still daylight these days  at 8 so we have been 
thinking of changing the sked.
    I think 75m would be good, the problem with 40/20m is that the close in 
stations might not hear each other.

73 Warren
