You're welcome Gary. According to QRZ.com, there are 500 miles between us.
Good job! It's amazing what a Lowfer signal can do with modern techniques. I
remember when it was a big deal to hear (literally) a Lowfer CW signal 100
miles away. I used to sit up until 2AM trying to hear Lowfers back in the
late 80s/early 90s. Do you QSL? I would like to start collecting some more
low frequency QSL cards. I've pretty much lost interest in anything above
500kHz. We have a strange pastime. What was it Mike Mideke said?.... "Worlds
dumbest hobby?"
