Yes, Bob, patience is what it is all about and you're right, it is in short supply these days. To brighten your day:
I have a QSLs from VK0HM on Heard Is. (worked on Dec. 26, 1969) and from ZM1AAT/K on Raoul Is. in the Kermadecs (worked less than a week later on Jan. 2, 1970). I had only a few VK and ZL cards in my collection at the time and was using an R4B and an FL-100B to a 20M dipole at 30 feet at the time I worked them. Mind you, I have lots more (well a few) with both since then but I still basically run 100W although a tri-band beam makes a huge difference. There's always hope. 73, Al, VE1AL __________ Bob Nielsen wrote: > I guess I have mixed feelings, since I still need several of the > non-workable entities.
