Congrats Don... You were one of the 5 US stations (VA3DX, W1ZS, W4YDY,
K4GMH, AA5AU) and the only one from W5 we've have worked on 80m from S50A
station. No troubles to get you on the screen. No special receiving antennas
this time, we were runing abt 800W into 3 el Yagi (40m high).
Where were the others ?
P.S.: Don, tell us the secret about your longwire :-)
73's de Robert, S57AW
