[Lowfer] "T" and "SL" Last Night in CA

[Steve]

Thanks Roger - it sounds as though you have a great working system there and 
it obviously performs very well. Even more impressive in that it is all 
homebrew!!
It's nice to see some new LF activity from California. At one time it was 
the hotbed of LF action for the entire continent.
Hopefully we can have a QSO on 600m when it is approved here and in the U.S.

Thanks for the info. I may be on again tonight, running at just10W out, if 
there appears to be a lot of weather-related QRN back east.

Steve / 73

BTW....what is your call?
