and me without a beam... I bought one during the low propagation period so I could get out then I moved, traveled, got married, relocated, etc... never put it up yet, now I'll need it for the front to back and front to side properties because propagation will be great...
I was licensed during solar cycle 19 folks. It was incredible. If the current one is like that then hamming will be an adventure day in and day out... wow... hams scoff at the idea of a rig high up Sherwood's list being the way to go but when the interference is coming in strong from all over the world they might be rethinking that... I knew a novice licensee that got his DXCC about 1960. He was restricted to 75 watts and no privilege on 20 meters... good times folks, good times!!
