Hi
     I was excited to here both the Javanese and the station from Panama.
The only thing was that as hard as I tried, I couldn't contact anyone. I
think that the SWR on my converted 11 meter vertical is somewhere between 4
and 5. With the external antenna tuner it comes down to 3.4 and I clean up
the rest with an the internal tuner on my radio. I am guessing that if I
could get that SWR down below 2 that I would start making contacts. 

God bless,
Mark

God Loves you!

Well, it has been years since I have copied J A signals on 10 meters =
like it has been the last couple of weeks.  10 and 12 meters both, not =
to mention 15 meters, has nearly been plugged with Japanese stations.  =
It sure doesn't take much, generally, to work the pacific on 10, that's =
for sure.
