Well, if they had real antennas they could run reasonable power, 5-10 watts, but
because of their inefficient antennas they run 1500 w! And they really should
get better receivers, one of those top of the line rigs, 3k to 4k in $$$. And
they really should try harder, listen to me for 10-15 min. then they will be
able to copy me. BTW, my antenna is very good, I have a full wave 80 MT loop at
30 ft, that should put a vry gud sig into VK land!

You tell 'em Bill!
I expect the other guy to have an expensive ricebox and 100 watts minimum --
in addition to the big antenna, so I can work him with my dinky little radio
and low dipole.
