Ummm, yeah.
So....Getting back on task: K1VSK Don, I know that you said in the past that you are successful there making contacts right from your home located in an HOA community, so all joking aside, what kind of antenna do you REALLY use from your QTH there and at what power level and with what mode? Is it an indoor antenna, or an outside antenna?
Or maybe it's actually "both", and you are using an HT to remotely repeat to an HF rig say from your house to your docked sailboat (or whatever hole in the water that you might presently be throwing money into) I've "heard" of guys doing that before you know...
How many QSOs/Awards with your setup?
Actually, it would be GREAT to have a QSO direct with you, and No Doubt you'd be "charmed" to work my humble little QRP station as well!
Having the means, you could even contact the ARRL ahead of time (if they are still taking your calls) to get it announced in QST ahead of time and print up Special Event Cards for the occasion: Yes! A K1VSK/W8LV QSO would go down in Radio History, indeed!
One for the Record Books! While I do indeed hold the Commercial "T", alas, I MUST be upfront with you: Printing and postage are beyond my financial means. But I promise to slow down on sending your way..You know what they say: Accuracy over Speed!
