I worked the Dominican Republic, other than that it's all really with in 
about 25 miles of me I've been working. I hear others in there now and then 
but they never last long. I disconnected the W2IHY box and put the MC-60A on 
the radio, it doesn't sound anywhere near as good but drives the radio 
better so I figure for the contest I'll stick with the MC-60A. I'll decide 
Monday if I want to go back but I probably will.
