That's really good news - congratulations. Earlier in the day, they were 'clear as a bell' in southern England, a good 59, but they were calling for NA only ! When they didn't get takers, they started on Europe, the pile up was tremendous. I tried to follow the QSX and find just where he was listening, but just not happening on my setup (FT-857). This was on SSB since I'm not there with my Morse yet, I'm guessing you worked him CW. Really looking forward to trying the K3 now, even more than I was yesterday.
Oh and the guys waiting for this batch in the US will get theirs sooner, since ours will have to ship over the water :-( On 12/9/07 04:22, "Vic K2VCO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: > I just worked 3B7C on 40 meters, with 100 watts and 40 foot high > inverted V.
