Hi gang; After spending 16 years on the west coast and being to work
into JA at one leisure, I can really appreciate an opportunity when
it arrises. I've been waiting for over a year and a half to work JA
from the mid west and finally this morning on 1909 here was JA3ONB
calling cq so i find his QSX frequency and wait until I hear a 0 or 9
working him. after 15 minutes of calling I finally have him in the log at
12:49 UTC. What a signal he has one of the strongest there. he was solid
copy 599 plus or minus 5-10 at times on peaks. This was no less on the
transmit vertical the uni-hat. On my short beverages he was still 569-579
but with no noise. Noise level on the transmit is a constant s9 24 hours
a day. Thanks my friend JA3ONB for the fb contact this morning. de N7CKDennis
