I'm vacationing in coastal Maine and playing a bit of radio. Worked 
ZL3IX this morning, 15 minutes past sunrise. Greg was 579 on a couple of 
pieces of wire I'm phasing with the NCC-1 box and not quite as good on 
the TX antenna. Using a tree-supported Inverted L with six 1/4 wave 
on-the-rock radials (2 ending in salt water) for TX and 110 watts from 
the K3. Antenna has a nice saltwater takeoff over Blue Hill Bay. Photo 
at www.aa1k.us.

On Aug. 8 from here worked RI1ANF and I2TAO.
