[FARC] Olivia 1st DX

[Kirk Talbott]

Just worked, sort of, my first DX station with Olivia on 20 meters, 14.107.50.  HB9TPL Daniel, in Evolene, a small village in Switzerland on the Italian border.  We exchanged names, QTH's, grids, station equipment, and signal reports and then the band just closed, bummer.  HB9TPL is on QRZ.com for info.  

Him using 80 watts and a simple dipole hanging from two trees and me using 55 watts and a 20 meter, 20 ft., shortened dipole sloping from a TV tower to the ground.
