The Beam

Last night, I got a call from Pete (W2IRT) - "XF4 is on the air and LOUD". I get on the air - just a whisper - below ESP level. Man I HAVE to get my beam up. I talked with my XYL - she has given me the OK as my Christmas Gift. Yea! I can start ordering parts before then.

Hi Charlie,

I know exactly how you feel. I was lucky enough to work XF4DL during the CQ WW SSB contest on 20m from the east coast of Australia. For some strange reason they were calling CQ Contest and no one else was replying. Got through on the first call using low power.

Cheers
