[Elecraft] Entertaining Tales

[Bob DeHaney]

Guys, W4MLE (SK) was just trying to tell me that Propagation and Antennas will always be waiting to surprise me by functioning unexpectedly. 

 

For instance, using a light bulb as a dummy load and having a QSO with the light bulb as my antenna.  Or calling CQ in the afternoon on 40m with 75 Watts into a low, more or less tuned dipole, and having I1ER come back to me as my very first Trans-Atlantic QSO.  I think that’s when the DX Bug bit me 😊
