[LeArc] Complaints no more

[Franklin D Wolverton]

I will no longer complain about my set-up.  I just QSO'd with AUSTRALIA.
Time was 0747 UTC 28 MAR 2004, on 14.2075MHz SSB, using 100 W into a double
bazooka dipole sloping from about 14 feet to 6 feet North to South.

Granted... he was JUST above the noise floor, but I picked him out, and we
completed the QSO.

10,000 miles/100 W = 100 miles per Watt :)  Geesh....  YEEHAAA!!!
Definately more fun than e-mail or a phone call :)

I know I have been a ham long enough that I shouldn't get excited about
stuff like this... but geesh.  I'm excited enough I'm thinking about writing
an article.

I'll consider this QSO a one day early 30th Birthday present...
