 Soapbox Comments
 ________________

Another two meter sprint contest with fewer than 20 QSOs.
I worked six members of the Central Texas DX and Contest Club
(CTDXCC.)  For comparison, I worked only two members of the 
Roadrunner's Microwave Group (RMG,) the local VHF/UHF weak 
signal club.  There was no enhanced propagation, as near as 
I could tell, and activity was so down that I didn't even work 
EL29, the grid in which Houston (the fourth largest city in the 
country) is located - a grid I have never before failed to 
work in any contest involving two meters.  Active stations in
the Dallas/Ft. Worth area are becoming scarcer and scarcer,
so I no longer expect to be able to work those grids.
