FINALLY I worked a couple of JA's this evening!  JA7QVI and JA7WSZ are 
in the log.  That's not only a new one, it completes a WAC on 6m.  I 
called WA8JOC (my long-suffering QSL manager from my overseas years) as 
I knew that he needed JA to complete a 6m WAC and for a new one.  Shep's 
in Cincinnati and his beam is stuck to the SE.  He worked JA7QVI off the 
back of the beam using my old single 4CX250B amp at about 300w out.

I think Pete is a candidate for a converted SB-200 or SB-220.
