Hi Luis

Yes it was me!  I have heard you several times but this is
our first QSO.  I have worked about 75 countries Mobile
so far from near my QTH in Val Verde.California(near LA).
The band was fairly good yesterday and I heard other
European stations along with PY0FN.  I worked DL7DF/HI9
and a couple of other carribean countries last nite but
our QSO was the most exciting.

I have worked about 6 countries in Europe so far and it
is by far the most difficult path for me.  I run about
800 Watts to a modified Screwdriver Whip antenna on
the rear of my pick up truck.  Usually if I can hear them I
can work them but with an antenna only 15 feet long I do
not hear very well.  My goal is to work DXCC/Mobile.
I need only 25 more to do it.

Thanks for the QSO and hope to work you again from
the mobile here in california.

Don Stribling  KH6DX/Mobile
