Well Wayne, I didn't hear you but, I still accomplished a first. I just
worked Paul, W1PSC. He was operating with a compromise vertical at the
limited height of 37,000ft. That's right. No typo. I guess with that
height above ground, it's not such a compromise. ;-) He had a vertical
antenna on/inside the vertical stabalizer of a Continental 737-800. He
had to QRT pretty quickly because they were prepairing for their initial
decent but, it was still quite an exciting contact!
I'm monitoring 18.132 now with K2/100 #2490.
