Hi all, got a call from Jim K0KFC this early afternoon while he and John,
K0FQA were in EN35.  I ended up working John on SSB - 10 ghz.  The time was
1850.  Very exciting stuff to take a short baby break and work some SHF DX.

Drift did not seem to be too much of an issue, more of an issue was pulling
out the SSB but he peaked up pretty good and was tickling the meter for two
transmissions.

I tried to work Jim on CW, but the band had faded from there, so next time.
Not sure but I think they were hearing me every transmission, so the power
is apparently a big factor.

I did not write down the 6 digit grid square from there, so if someone could
pass it along.  I think they said it was 192 miles, but not sure!  Its a new
grid too, number 7!

So just a heads up, could be good tonight and tommorow morning again, too
bad work will get in the way.
