[SOC] Who have I worked?

[Morseman]

Hi Wayne,

Up until recently, mainly VHF and UHF but I have started to do some
portable HF operating.  I've worked a few US stations, but none recently
due to the bands not being in great shape.

When I'm out I tend to start on something like 40M then try 30M,
occasionally 20M, and even more rarely the upper HF bands, but I might do a
bit more on the upper bands if conditions seem good.

I'm usually using low power, 5W typically, but I can run a bit more if
needed. My KX3 will go up to 15 Watts on some bands, and I have a new G90
that will get to the giddy heights of 20 Watts!

At home I use 6M and 4M, but that's not available in many countries, and
VHF or UHF.  I might put up some sort of doublet at home and try getting on
a bit more often on the HF bands at home.

Hope to hear you on one or other band soon.

Cheers - Dave (G0DJA)
