[Elecraft] Great QSOs, 21st century

[Wayne Burdick]

Wow! Thanks for the nostalgic RF trip, everyone. Seriously...great stories. 

Moving forward in time a bit, I wanted to note that RF miracles continue to happen every day. (Well, most weekends in my case.) Last Saturday’s physics-be-damned results: several solid SSB QSOs on 20 and 17 meters all over the country, including KH6, with a prototype AX1 dual-band whip and a KX2 used HT style. 

What I need is an alarm app for my iPhone that tells me that HF conditions are hot and it’s time to get out of the shack. Ring tone of choice: first four bars of “Born to be Wild”. 

Is it just me, or is there something life-changing about a noise level of S0? It’s just a short drive away, even in Silicon Valley.
