Sonwatcher, Thanks for that link! That is a fascinating site! Jerry

Yeah, It's been a fun weekend. :thumbup: I've made several contacts on 15m. Most to South America, but a few to Japan. Several more on 20 and 40. And ONE on 10m to Hawaii. That was fun. And we still have today. Contests are a blast! :laugh: A great opportunity for us little pistols to work some...
