Worked Ducie Island tonite (12:11 PST) on 80m SSB with K2 # 1609 , K2 100w
amp, and persistence.  The 100w amp was one of the field test units.  

Antenna is a ridiculously low OCF wire with a mountain ridge to the
southwest.  I think I am getting a nice diffraction off of the ridge from my
NVIS antenna because anything low angle is going straight into the rocks.

My first DXpedition contact in 40+ years of ham radio.  Quite a thrill.
