Well I had a very nice surprise tonight. I was able to make a QSO from Tampa to the Elmac net ostensibly in Pigeon, Michigan and points near.
We had a cheeseburger at the Sonic and then I asked the YL if she wanted to do something boring.... We ended up at the beach on the St. Pete side of the Gandy bridge. I put the DK3 antenna on the back of the Chrysler and unpacked the Icom 706. I matched the antenna and started hunting around 80 for an SSB QSO. I did not expect to hear the Elmac net. I was even more surprised to make a solid contact with Mike N8ECR with 40 watts from my car. Thats about 1300 miles. Also heard was KA2J Dave and WB8TOW Steve.
