    As in playing golf, you always have a highlight during an outing. I will say this, there were not to many from the western part of FN21. There were no traces of inhancement during the entire contest. Activity was way down. What ever happened to our fri... Read More

    UHF contest has become so dormant on the west
    coast, with a suggestion for a new scoring system
