Mike - I will try to oblige you with a CW QSO before too long.
No beam antennas allowed outside here though!

I have an indoor dipole up at about 20 feet above ground.
With 75 watts I bet that is enough for you and I to QSO with that big 
beam!

What frequency do you usually call CQ on when you are looking for 
a 50 MHz CW contact?

I might just switch to using the Ten Tec Transverter soon and maybe 
add a 2nd element and make it an indoor beam!!
