Going the Distance

Back to my new hilltop spot, working 17 meters, and signals are improving. The QRZ responses kept pouring in one after the other. After getting a tip from a local operator on the band (K6RRA) to tune to a frequency with a powerful Japan Ham, I made contact with JH2AMN. Right after that I pushed my way into coastal Maine, and successfully worked N1YTN. What a satisfying expedition =)

So cool to see you work into Japan, not sure if thats your first qrp acrossed the pond anyway. I was on 17 on wed. and today, I wish I would have heard you, probably bounced right over me!!! hehehe I was parked next to the water/ Lake Shasta. I have some video from today of a qso w/ W3FF so I should post that. Real cool video though Chris, glad you are enjoying the radio weather! Hope ya can make it up in August for the Lassen Special Event. 73

Thanks, it was a lot of fun. Yeah I tend to skip right over NorCal most of the time, right into Washington. I definitely will be looking for you for the Lassen event. Keep an ear out =) 73
