I worked LU5DYV in Argentina on June 10th, on 20m. I did it with a Anttron Hamwhip on my Taurus while driving across I-70 in Indiana.
The rig, was the awesome KX-1 at about 2w. A few mins later I hear N5KY in QSO all the way from Albequrque NM...he gave me an honest to goodness 569 on my KX1 2w mobile. He was running 500w and was blowing my headphones off. GREAT fist. I would suggest if you want to work DX on 20m, you turn on the radio and do some listening for a bit. Seems like when it opens, it is really open...but it may only last 20-30 minutes. 73 ========================================= Radio Amateurs - Fill your junk box, from my junkbox! http://www.hamradparts.com 73 de KB9BVN ========================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Larsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ron D'Eau Claire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "'Elecraft Reflector'" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 4:39 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Band Conditions > Yes that is fun and 40 meters is where you will find activity at > night if the noise is low enough.
