[WVDXA] QSO Last Night, QSL This Morning

[W8OI at aol.com]

Charlie:
 
It amounts to just a rotateable dipole at 56'.  It's one element of a  five 
element Mosley Beam (TA-34XL-WARC) that has four active elements on 10, 15  and 
20, plus this trapped dipole element for 12 and 17.  But if I hear  them, I 
can work them with the gain I get from being able to broadside it to the  DX.
 
Rig is a FT-1000MP, Mark V, hooked up to an old SB-221 linear.
 
The YK was really strong for only about 30-40 minutes starting at  about 1800 
yesterday.  
 
Hope you get him if you need him.
 
Garry, W8OI

Gary, I  could not hear them well enough to try them from my mobile 
yesterday.   TS480SAT plus Tarheel screwdriver is the rig.  Same result on 40  
yesterday.  They need to be a bit louder to be workable from the mobile.  

What is your antenna on 17 meters? 

Congrats on the  QSO and QSL.

For the first time (for me at least) a DX-pedition QSL'd me within a  few 
hours of a QSO.  I worked YK9G for a new band/entity combination on  17 meters 
last night and found a QSL via LOTW when I turned the computer on  this morning. 
 Wow!   Those Brits are not only fast at  sending CW, they get the 
confirmations out before my amplifier cools  down.
