[WVDXA] Worked TO5E

[W8OI at aol.com]

TU, Clark.
 
We haven't had good propagation to St. Barts.  Last night I sat here  for 
four hours, occasionally hearing just a whisper from him with the beam  pointed  
down his throat.  He was being heard 75 miles away to the  north and 100 miles 
away to the west but I couldn't hear him well enough to work  him until this 
morning.  If we ever get a good path, you'll work  him on the big wire.
 
Had lunch with W8QHG yesterday.  The swelling in his legs is better  with 
increased medication, he looked great and said he felt better.
 
Thanks.
 
Garry, W8OI

Garry,

I heard your side of your SSB  QSO.  Prior to your QSO, Dwight, KC8WDT, from 
Mason County worked him on  SSB.  I just can not hear his SSB.  I did hear him 
very briefly on  CW at 8:22 a.m. but he dropped out before I could call  him.

Congratulations on a New one!  You  can check the online log later this 
evening here:

You can do a lot with just a wire but nothing beats a beam to bring in the  
weak ones!  However, I'm "locked and loaded" in case he peaks  again.


Clark, W8TN
