Topband: First Stateside heard

[jonathan white]

Hi Topbanders.
Last night was a night to remember,no contacts made but heard first 
Iceland at  around 53-58 with qrn,then K1GUN popped up at around 55-57 
.I did not try calling  him as the TF3 couldn't hear me,with 100 w,and 
other high powered stations were calling,this was around midnight local 
time in UK.
What I need now is more horsepower under the bonnet, but my new 
top/bottom loaded vertical is working ,
Now to finish of my mini K9AY.
                                
                                                  73`s and a MERRY XMAS 
to all our readers.
