Paul is QRT for now, but what a summertime show he has put on for us! Last
night I was working on my PC's bios, saw it was 0255z, so connected vertical
& had a copy for first time on ET3PMW thru local crashes. The AL-1500
seemed to take 10 minutes to warm up. I got in the log at
0301z......probably his last contact. At 58 yrs old, I had yet another "DX
Rush", thanks to Top Band.
I know I speak for all when I say, Thanks Paul, Bill & others for making
Ethiopia available on Top Band. If 160 meters continues to be this
exciting, I may just sell the HF beam & slip stealth "snake" antennas
through the neighbors back yards...............(a vertical in Florida is an
UGLY thing to receive on)
