<div dir="ltr">Hi Andy<div><br></div><div>I think I missed the best 10M time as I was taking a nap. :) However, I was going to comment to one of your operators that the M6T is about one of the best contest calls out there. It rolls off the tongue and is nice and short. 160M was more noisier than usual this weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, I am watching the CQWW group as well and they are concerned and aware of the problem.</div><div><br></div><div>73, Mike va3mw</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 4:09 AM g4piq--- via Dxspider-support <<a href="mailto:dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk">dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_1277212512921104364WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hi Mike<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>We had the same at M6T.
