I made my first long distance contact as a General Class. I talked with IU2P in Italy on 20 meters. This was with 100w using my Tuner on my asp-350 aluminum groundplane

Europe is coming in really well right now on 20. I heard a guy from Germany and one from Austria. As far as enjoying HF, I love it ! Wish I would have done this years ago. Man it's neat ! DX everywhere ! 
BTW this all done with Kenwood ts-520 with 125 watts and a homebrew parallel 20/40m dipole up 25ft to appex and ends 10ft off the ground.
