Barefoot with a $40.00 G5RV, I love it!.........good job Dave!
Now you've got to get those QSL cards printed and start licking envelopes...hi,hi.
Are you going to make it to our Field Day???

I really want to, but I became laid off the other day from my real job and money is too tight to make any decisions that far out.

Sorry to hear that. I hope that situation improves for you...the sooner the better.

Great job Dave,
Give us the particulars....band, callsign, other stations equipt., etc.
When the propogation is good it can be a lot of fun. Sounds like you had a great opening in that direction. That's after greyline by about an hour down there.
You might want to check out the nightly Anza DX Net it's at 14.183. Starts at 0515 UTC (10:15 pm for us). Its' control op's are primarily Ozzies and Kiwi's and some have incredible signals into the States at that hour during the Summer months. I check in there from time to time.
