First contact to Hawaii
I've heard Hawaii on the air but could never make the trip to them. Finally, this afternoon I worked KH6RD on 14.313. He is running 1000 watts on a 3 3l3m3nt Yagi and I have my 100 watt Kenwood TS830S and a Butternut HF9V ground mounted radials. Also worked a station in Valenzuela, Calgry, Cuba and several US stations on the east coast.
Maybe the solar cycle is slowly getting heated up. I am excited....
