Aloha All,
Last evening at 0510 UTC, I called CW CQ on 1828.
Was immediately answered by KL7H/W6 near Red Bluff,
Calif., or about 2450 miles distant. Inv-Vee apex is up about
40 ' above the house roof; and was running the legal limit
via an 87A. Dick gave me a 5NN, as I gave him. There
were other signals heard, but not worked. Was a pretty
strong SSB QSO going on that I heard up around 1855 just
a few minutes earlier, but could not get their attention, they
were W7's.
So will see what else I can do with this Inverted-Vee this season.
73, Jim, AH6NB
