       At the Indian Hill (BTL)	Amateur	 Radio	Club,  some  of	 us
       tried  listening	 on  2	meters for W5LFL during	the 11:10 -
       11:25 AM	pass this morning (November 30).

       Neither we, nor anyone else here	in northern Illinois seemed
       to  hear	 W5LFL.	 The biggest problem was the hoards of sta-
       tions transmitting on the downlink frequency.   Many  didn't
       know  the correct procedure, others just	acted as "kilocycle
       cops," compounding the QRM.

       If W5LFL	was in there, he was deep underneath  a	 pileup	 of
       others trying to	call him!
