Gents, I thought that you might like to know that in the early morning (0700Z) of June 24th, while operating my KX1, SN1151, and Buddipole in a vertical configuration and wire counterpoise, I was able to have an enjoyable (but short) QSO with F6GCP, Pat on 14.028.
I had set up near the beach on Maui, and conditions to Europe were great. He called me after I had finished working Dennis, KE7DSE. I calculate this to be a distance of approx 6450NM. While probably not a record, still not bad for 2 watts! Only goes to show that these little radios are not toys, they really do work! 72 Ralph, VE7OM/KH6 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
