I had heard them on some other bands recently but wasn't ever able to work them due to the competition in the pile ups they created. It was great to work them this morning, luckily, before they shut down their DX operations. I rarely get a chance to work El Salvador* and to work this one on 160 meters with the homebrew transmitter rig was an extra thrill. This also let's me add another country to my 160 meter countries list. * third contact with El Salvador - once on 30 meters, once on 12 meters and now once on 160 meters in a 9 year span) -- 73 de AK4JA ______________________________________________________________ QRP-L mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/qrp-l Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
