    Conditions much better this year than in the previous two years. There was a good smattering of Europe and West Coast stations to work. Worked my first VK ever in 25 years on 160 meters. Hearing anything beyond CA is very tough with a small antenna fr... Read More

    CU all in next c... Read More
