Wow! First I see on OH2BUA that VE1ZZ logged him at 2204, then
I got a call from Jeff telling me that he worked him out of the
Northeast. I start listening that direction and just begin to
hear a trace of him. Then I try Long Path (Southeast Beverage0
and he's much more readable. 3 or 4 calls and he comes back
and is now 569 at 2320 which is 30 minutes past my sunset. I'm
copying him on my speaker as I write this at 2337.
Attention anyone planning an expedition...throw away your Gap's,
Butternut's and Gladiator's...get a BIG vertical like these guys
are using (Titanex vertical about 55-60 feet tall). BIG ANTENNAS
WORK ON 160! Remember that. :-)
73, Bill W4ZV
