Just never know OM!....Worked a friend from 75m yesterday morning from FLA to IN...He was using his 75m dipole and 70w...I was using my 5el's at 45ft/100w
We chatted for maybe 10 minutes...
3 days this week same guy from FLA to IN...He uses a 75/40m Gage dipole/100w...Q last weekend lasted like 20 minutes before it started to fade...When we signed I was the Pile-up! Like half the state of FLA called me...FUN STUFF...

Maybe we'll get lucky...Last year we had a Monster Flare during the contest
Almost TOTAL Blackout the whole event...Hopefully not this year...

I should have gotten with Warren and got that last amp he had already converted...Still I would have to find a 50v supply...
All the Best
Gary
