Hello Guys

This morning I was surfing the 20 meters band with my R390 and my Viking Valiant, suddenly I heard a very loud station calling CQ on CW, it was Jamie KF2VM, well, I answer the call, and when I told him  "rig hr is a Viking Valiant" , he ask me if I wants to try an AM qso because he also have a Viking, a Viking 500!

He warms filaments and well we make a QSY, and go to AM, was great!, for me is the longest AM QSO at the moment!, Is a long distance from Albany NY to central Mexico!, Im keep on looking for you guys on the AM frecuencies!

Best Regards

Very cool.
Glad you guys crossed paths on 20 meters.
That used to be a hangout when Les, W6HQI was around, but it has fallen off in recent years.

Maybe time for a revival.

Tonight we had fairly long distance propagation on 75m, not quite to central Mexico, but at least to Kansas where I worked Jim W0NKL,
