[OKDXA] Worked VU7AG on 100 watts into a vertical

[N5PA]

Mac:

I am running 100 watts into a Cushcraft R-6000 Vertical here at the farm.  I was not really expecting to work them.  And as you said, it was a real zoo!

>>> I thought I worked him a few minutes ago (i.e. 2217UTC on 29Nov) on 18085.0Khz CW (listening up at 18094.0Khz). However, a guy called right on top of him when he was sending my call -- so it could be he was not really sending my call. But I do know the call he was sending started with K5 . . . . We will see when his online log is updated if it was me he worked or not.
