-------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are forgiven if you were!! There is a Continental station some 1000 miles from here that I chat with from time to time on 40m CW, who runs 100 milliwatts into a dipole. I believe that his Tx is built around a 7400 Quad NAND Gate or something of that ilk. I left an invitation for him to break in if he heard me ragchewing with a DX station, and he would like a report. This he did one morning near the bottom end of 40m (a year or more ago) while I was ragchewing via long path with a very old VK friend who gives out real reports - not "599 what's your call? What's my report?" The VK copied the 100mW at 339 which would have been 539 if in the clear without Far Eastern QRM. But they had a solid exchange of reports etc. The VK and I had exchanged 589 reports, but we were both running 100 watts and both using beams. Conditions were not exceptional, and it was a lot of fun to hear the 100mW make the trip. 73, Geoff.
