Good showing last night - 17 reports, 8 states, 2 countries, 10
Beverages (2 beers), 4 inverted Ls, 1 dipole, 1 EWE, 1 Drake R4C, 1
Collins 75A-4 and a shunt fed tower! We pretty much covered Maine to
North Carolina and west to Ohio.
The beacon was running with the full blistering 100mW. Next week,
we'll give the folks in Europe and west of the Mississippi a chance
at 2.5 watts on 160 meters.
I'll be running twice a week shortly.
If you haven't seen this,

A couple of SP5's are making some significant progress on 80 meters
with 12.5uW received over 200km! I'm not going to argue about
miles/watt, 200km with 12.5uW is darn impressive.
