My first contact across the pond.

[Groundhog KSS-2012]

I just made me very first contact across the pond this morning in my pickup sitting at my usual DX location.
With the "307", in Yorkshire England on channel 37 lsb.
Using my Galaxy DX 94HP and the Almighty Antennas 63" Mobile CB Antenna w magnetic mount.
My first contact ever, across the pond!
Felt good to be able to do that.

Congratulations! Time to print out the map and start sticking pins in it.

Hey Shadetree M, that's a very informative post, very helpful as always. Thanks for that.

I'm very impressed with the Almighty Antennas 63" Mobile CB Antenna w magnetic mount. All I've done to it is change the stock coax to LMR-240, (Like I do to all my mag mounts), and it has performed very well. Shot quite of bit of DX right here in the States on it as well. Was a great buy, imho.

But first you'll have to make contacts to the top two corners of the map to hold it up.

Congrats. England was booming into New Jersey two hours ago.
