502 in a mobile was putting a good signal all the way down into B.C., Washington, NV, S. Cal. It was a short qso for me. I heard him tell a guy in NV that he was hitting the 3k mark - which I believe to be true, for I did talk to him one day last week.
A "normal" station (lol) couldn't do that strong of a signal this time of year from a mobile (especially after dark). He was also talking to a good friend of his down close to Victorville, CA.; Ralph 754 (which is east of LA), which I have talk to lot over the years.

Then a station out of Whitehorse, Yukon Terr. came in for over an hour. It was funny to listen to people in Washington not believe he was on skip, heard a couple people ask him "where is Whitehorse!!!" LOL They didn't believe that he was in Canada..........Quazee Moto was his name.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
