[600MRG] Heard kj6mki from Berkeley

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Yes, that's great DX. What is your antenna, your performance is
exceptional.  Are you sitting on a salt water lake?

I don't think I worked many stations over 2,000 miles away when I was at
sea, I did manage a QSO once from offshore Guayaquil, Ecuador to the (New)
Jersey Shore north of Tuckerton, NJ and south of Manahawakin, NJ at WSC
West Creek, NJ Radio. I was running about 400 watts to a Inverted L about
150 foot long on a big tanker. I used frequencies for him (460 kHz) and for
me (468 kHz). I called him on 500 kHz but with the QRM he didn't hear me so
he was working a ship on  468 kHz so I jumped in when the ship was signing
with him.

Nice DX, great going!
