Heh,

Dave - once upon a time a local ham made a contact from Michigan to 
Australia on 160 meters. When his QSL card arrived he mentioned it on 
the local two meter repeater. Our 160 meter guru started asking 
questions about his amplifier and towers. The only had a modest dipole 
and a barefoot ricebox for about 100 watts. Our guru denied such a thing 
was even possible. He was invited to the coffee shop gathering to see 
the QSL card. Even after seeing the card he denied it! Some people are 
just plain hard-headed.

Nice job with the Photoshop :)

Grinning, ducking, and running ...

73,

Bill KU8H
