Wow, that *is* a big deal. I still get excited when I work Maine on HF! Looks like the distance between FN43sv and EN36ek is about 1138 miles, which ain't bad for the beginning of Autumn. My antenna current has been lower than usual for this time of year, and I have been thinking about re-doing the whole LEK antenna system. Gee, now I have an excuse to procrastinate for another year. Thanks, John! Lyle, K0LR
