[Lowfer] 1st 500kHz T/A QSO (ssb/cw)

[Warren Ziegler]

Congrats to Bob WE2XGR/6 and Finbar GI4DPE for the 1st transatlantic
ssb/cw contact on 500kHz!
Bob worked Finbar first as a regular cw contact, then Bob switched to
ssb on 510kHz and continued the QSO.
This is despite an ice storm at Bob's QTH which deposited 1/4" of ice
on Bob's antenna which resulted in Bob's output power dropping to
500W.
(Bob's estimated ERP 60-70W on ssb rather than the usual 200W).
