Damn, I just got my new amp up and running and was tuning around on 20m this evening.
Was on 14.250.50 and heard a BIG signal form KH7XS out of Hawaii. He was hitting me at S9+10 and was super clear with great audio.
I listened in and tried to get in through the pile-up, but being 5,000 miles away, I knew my odds were low. Just about 11:00PM EST, he started working the numbers for WAS stations only. He called for 1s and I got in and he reported me at a 56. Not shabby for a 80m OCF about 40 feet up with an AL-811H putting out about 700W with a tuned SWR about 1.1:1
Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped about being able to hit him.
The guy has a SICK station. Go check out his QRZ page. https://www.qrz.com/db/KH7XS
Hope he comes back on again tomorrow night.
