[SFDXA] on my way to the Honor Roll

[Hank Phillips]

I think you are heading in the right direction, and from my experience,
retirement will definitely put more fanny in the seat time to the hobby ...
all to your advantage!

I needed the VP8 on lots of bands, having worked the Micro-Lite expedition
only on 20 and 15 in 2002.  They have proven to be much more difficult than
I expected.  The only band they have had really good signals on for me was
30 meters, and that was an easy work with a 3 element monobander at 80 feet.
The rest were not.  I still need them on 6, 10 and 160, with 160 being the
most promising band.  I could hear them last night, but had a dinner invite
and couldn't hang in there long enough to try them.  10 not peep, and 6 is a
band I don't have a real antenna for, although I can drive my LP on its 3rd
harmonic.  It accepts power on 6M, but I am not sure what it does with it.

Good luck on the ATNO!  Vy 73,
Hank
