Subj : Re: great 1st contact on new rig To : Paul Hayton From : Kent Timm Date : Thu Aug 11 2016 05:18 pm > Well done, thats super cool ;-) Yes, it's not my first Aussie contact, but to get that on the first CQ of a new (to me) radio was graet, I think the first time I got a VK it took me about 2 or so hours to calm down.. Keep in mind I live in an apartment and use a hamstick mounted above my satelite dish for 20 meters, Haven't even had it on today.. one of my air conditioners decided to dip all over the floor last nite and I won't waste space on the rant that would sum it up... portable ACs are a pain.. --- RA2+ FMail * Origin: HoloDeck BBS telnet://kentsoftware.com:2323 London ON (1:229/728) .
