Yes, Tom did indeed do very well.
I could not work him because my wires came down in the
winter storm last week, but I was able to hear him using
what is left of my 80 meter dipole that is still lying on
the roof as a receiving antenna.
I am about to sign on for some operating time when it is
Mississippi's turn. Our first run will be in mid April, the
second in mid November.
I will keep you posted.
