[net.ham-radio] Furor??

Ref mine of 26 August and the several responses:

My friend simply dialed a phone number one higher than the TAPR
number.  When it rang immediately, he concluded, as do I, that the
"All circuits are busy..." message was a sham to discourage us all
from calling and REALLY blocking up all the circuits.
It sure had an effect on me (and others).  But I wish I had gotten
through.

Dialing a number one higher might not prove anything.  I know
for a fact that circuits were busy out of LA to Phoenix.  Note that
many CIRCUIT BUSY recordings may ring several times before the
voice announcement begins.
