25 watts and an inverted vee got me from South Carolina to Costa Rica on 10 meters today. That was pretty darned cool. Took a lot of patience, but he finally responded to my call. He said I was 5-1, but it was good enough to get a confirmed QSL in LoTW. Good enough to make an HF noob happy!

However, I stumbled upon an Astron RS-20a that was missing the cord. Asked the seller how much and his first response was...

Greetings from Upstate South Carolina,,,,,,,,,,, 40 yr. old male considering a new hobby.:headbang I was given a couple of old mobile CB's the other day. My primary interest in them was to have a form of communication if the satellites quit working. I'm kind-of a "end of times" subscriber...
