[SEDXC] Dx with 100 watts

[Paul Manno, KG4UVU]

I managed a contact with the 9X0R today on 17m with 100 watts and my 
trusty 40m wire dipole... but timing and luck seems essential.

I was able to hear the H44MS today on 15m but was unable to reach him 
before time to be on the radio and band conditions conspired otherwise. 
Likewise, he worked South America for a few, then worked some by the 
numbers.

73,
