Thanx for the contact and feedback on the new radio
sorry the qso left much to be desired, will have to get the rx side of things figured out on my end
I'd have shouted back but I heard you get into another qso and then the bottom dropped out of the signal. Again, appreciate the feedback and advice...cheers!!

Was talking to a couple of SD members in Canada when
44BRC124 SOUTH AFRICA Steven 5/7 27.540USB 10:20AM/PST
came in clear as a bell!
He was using a beam and had me at the same signal strength,
Talked for about 5 minutes with just 60 watts.
This was a long path contact, as my beam was pointed to the NNE/30 degrees E of N.
Conditions have returned to the West Coast once again.
Booo-yaaaah!
His station is in Mtubatuba SA, which is the on Indian Ocean side of South Africa ~100 km SSE of Swaziland.

Ya i have been bitten for a while, it wasnt my 1st dx contact just 1st on ssb. Im new to ssb, i have made a dozen or so on am channels over the past couple weeks. However mostly around the south eastern us and im in ny. So california is definatly a record for me. Still getting used to the ssb, for a while i didnt think it was working, then literaly on my last try before heading to work i got a call back
Wait till you get your first "DX" contact (meaning out of the states) then you will be really hooked and it goes on from there...
Have fun with it......
