I was pointed east on 385 lower about an hour ago and heard 43WR014 talking to another station. Turned to the west thinking he would really be blasting and he was gone. Turned back around and he was in there and I gave out a call and 014 came back to me.l had a signal of 5-5 to 5-8 on him. I was running 300 watts and he said he had a me in there at 5-9 to 5-10. He was running a 2510 doing 40 watts and this is what he had for a antenna. 43RC005 must have been his old call but this is what he said he was running at 100ft. Im sure his antenna was doing more for my big transmit signal than my antenna was lol. Boom is almost 80 ft long All I could say when I saw it was WOW!! First time I know of talking longpath anywhere. Its about 8600 miles the regular path. Does anyone know how far it would be to Australia longpath from southern Indiana?
