He came back with a TU. and into my log book. Then I got a email from a, near by qth, DX friend.. Said "think he had your call as N1FZ". It was past signal peak by the time I read the email. The next day (Friday) found I was not in the EP6T online log book, and N1FZ was. I should have given my call before and after giving him his report,.... Will I try again, you can bet your bippy I will. 73 Bruce-K1FZ PS: BOG Antenna notes have been updated, www.qsl.net/k1fz/bogantennanotes/index.html _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
