New experience for me....CQ-160 with 100 watts mobile whip with added 40 feet
of wire....about 25 feet high over a small tree in the yard in Ocoee, FL...
Had a hard time convincing a few of the guys I wasn't in Indiana.....
Best Ears award goes to Jeff Briggs.....one call and he actually heard most of
my callsign.....got it all the 2nd call
Tried several strong W1/K1 guys....none of them could hear me...
