Folks,

I know this is no big deal for a lot of you, but after years (and years) of
listening in my urban and now suburban lot, I finally heard VK3NZ in about a
five minute window starting at 6:35AM CDT.  Conditions are picking up!

Gotta get some power and a better antenna to work 'em, I heard Bob with a
lazy half wave dipole.... top at 76',  fed from the ground and the other
half as a single radial.  Beat my K9AY loop by a long shot.

Best regards,
