WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Didn't know if I'd live long enough to see this day.
When's it going open??
You know how much power it takes for the average ham-size antenna
to get to 1-watt EIRP? And don't get discouraged....
I broke all the distance records on 180 KC back in the 1980s
and we were radiating *pico-watts.*
