[600MRG] Heard kj6mki from Berkeley

[Cathryn Mataga]

Receive only, antenna, is only the feedline to my A3s beam, basically. I 
wouldn't dare try transmitting on this, don't want to damage anything.  
I also have about 5 ground rods around the yard, and a copper wire going 
around the house from all the ground rods to the service entrance.  
Maybe that's helping.

Also picked up wj6mki 94km away, on 137Khz and wh2xnd in dm33, 971km away
