Well, for some of us that don't have RX antennas (yet)  he was definitely
not super easy to copy,  but there was at least a 30-45 minute interval
when he was very workable using my Inv-L on TB and I was in the pileup!!
Like you, I don't think I made it, but it was enjoyable just being in the
dogfight!!

This ends my 2nd season on TB, and it is a super band to chase DX on.
Next season, Lord willing,  RX antennas will be up here!
