Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

[Saul Chernos <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1150 is indeed one good option for DE. 1410 also can get out, Tim, and you don't
have CKSL London ON in the way anymore there. DE 1330 also can do well in
semi-auroral cx here. Others heard are on 900, 1280, 1290, 1450, 1600. I'm about
500 miles out, so not that far. You're on the west side of MI, and from the ease
you get my targets from out west, and TPs (I have none here save hets), I can
well imagine you'll find DE a challenge. What have you heard from RI? What about
the Cdn provinces?

Congrats on your milestone, and in fairly short order to boot!
