Yesterday evening, I worked (phone) SoCal on 20, Montana on 40 and Redding and local on 80. Nice to be able to be on HF in less than 2 minutes. I will get another 80m hamstick that will be tuned to 3.581 to work our local EmComm digital Net.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div></div></body></html>
