[SADXA] ZL8X 1826.4

[W6XI]

Wes:

Anything is possible if a person gives it a decent try. Way to go.

They must have good antennas because they really can hear and it seems to be 
that way on all the bands.

I worked them on 75  this morning also, maybe a half hours before that. My 
antenna was on CW and I went out in the dark and moved it to SSB so the SWR 
wouldnt go crazy. No snake bites, stumbles or sprained ankles in the dark.
