Good deal Tom. I never did get on for this one, but sounds like you had
a blast. I did check the band around 7:30 last night and heard a weak
station from Poland and threw my call out a few times, but he didn't
hear me. This morning I heard XE, FM, and KP2, but didn't bother.
Maybe next time.
Did you run the amp?
