Tom,
You were easy listening on Whidbey Island last night. I was hanging on 160 waiting for the locals to show and decided to give a listen on 85. Did not have the xmitter on in time to give a call. You were just signing. Most of the others were in the noise.

Hi Bob,
Tnx for the report, OM!
I get a kick out of working you guys on the west coast in lousy conditions. There's nothing like connecting up with a guy running 50W and a dipole at 30' out there. ie, if these guys prove to themselves they can make it across the USA, then there's big confidence when working anywhere in the area closer.
From this point of view, Steve, KL7OF in WA is one of the guys who can hear about anyone out here with his beverage system. It's all about hearing. A big transmitter stirs up activity, but then ya gotta hear 'em. That's the hard part..
I plan to get on again tonight, assuming there is a clear freq between 3875-3890. Give me a call for a quick chat and report, OM.
73,
