worked nicaragua yesterday evening, there were some brief openings again into that area of central america and northern south america.

4040 really was a class act. He loved to chase that world wide dx when he could get it and he also liked to work the states. I too enjoyed his video gates and I enjoyed listening to him early mornings and evenings as he grabbed those rare dx's from over seas. If he could hear you he would try...

bigK, 4040 passed away on July 14, 2014 after suffering a stroke(s). life is precious, your here one day and gone the next. i know i was involved in a horrible automobile accident that for all intents and purposes pretty much took my life. how I came out i don't know, but I ramble.

Say Hello Tu My leetle Friend!

thanks for the post Moleculo, even though i don't have a need for one yet, i am that much more informed about the products. good reviews and product comparisons are good for both manufacturers as competition drives innovation and improvements(if needed or not)
