Congratulations, Bill!!!!
I am so glad you got your feet wet with some REAL LONG PATH DX on 6m EME!!!
And
congratulations to Kjell, who only needs two more states for 6m WAS!!! Kjell
was
also my first 6m EME contact, and has been patiently introducing serious 6m
DXers to
EME for many years now. His dedication and willingness to help newcomers is
legendary ;-) Kjell, I am still looking for a station in Nevada for you to
run with :-)
Bill, Kjell has the largest 6m station in the world, and probably is the
only
station you can work on CW with your small antenna, even with your very
outstanding
ground gain. HOWEVER, once you get going on JT65A mode, you will find that
you will
be able to work many more stations. Good luck to you and welcome to the
rapidly
growing club of 6m EME'ers! VY 73, Lance
