I had a fairly long and enjoyable QSO the other evening with
K7HI (Howard) on 40 meters. He was using an NC40A and a
whip antenna on a container ship returning from Hawaii to
Seattle. He was about 1200 miles SW of Seattle at the time.
Anyway, his signal was outstanding for just 2 watts. He was
579 to 599 the entire QSO. It's gotta be the water!

Salt water is funny stuff. It seems to work better around
rare DX islands than it does, like say, from a beach in
Florida. Wonder why?
