Hi, Steve.
I've been having fun with the CQWW DX contest. Yes, I've heard two
Zambian stations so far. With my ground-mounted vertical and less than 100
wats, I'm no match for some of the big guys, but I've worked lots of
Europeans and some South Americans.
I'd be curious to see how my audio is doing, so I may drop in on the
40-mtr net today for some audio checks. I usually don't like to use much
speech compression, but it might be interesting to see if I can bring it up
a little, without splattering or creating an ugly signal.
Dave

Good deal Dave. 10 meters is wide open now. Nothing rare so far, best
one on 10 this morning is Gambia.
BTW if using a contest logging program, most will input the zone for
the other station when you enter the call. It may seem a bit
haphazard, but there is some sort of order as to the location of the
zones. As you work stations and see what zone they give you, you will
start to fit them into that map you have in your noggin.
