Default 8P9, From The Motor Home

Just came back from helping the local radio club here in Warner Robins, GA in their "Keep an Eye on the Parking Lots". Local Hams help the Police by spending an hour or so, just watching for anything out of place and calling it in. Got home and went into the motor home to plug in the handheld 2M radio. I've been checking in with the morning RVing Service Net on 7.191 MHZ, 7 - 9 AM EST, so I just turned on the radio for a short and tuned around 40M. I here this faint QRZ call from Barbados. To my surprise he came right back to me. Shocked me to no end. DXing on 40M, with a vertical and 100 Watts. Guess I got the antenna mounted correctly, LOL. After the 2nd day of having the new Icom installed with the auto tuner, well, I've fallen in love with it. 73 - to all my fellow RVing Hams from George (KL7IEK). Cheers
