I just talked to the west indies on my old General Radio Telephone Super MC-11A....2 watt dk with 7 watt swing.......and not just a brief contact..but a about a 5 minute conversation.....hows that for low power DX talking.
That was a great contact Eastside, especially on "super bowl" weekend! My hats off...
I contacted Barbados West Indies the other night on 20m SSB.
Good DX
Propagation is a cool thing.Yeah...ch-6 is usually a mess.....it was quiet and this one guy was calling out......2 watts to the west indies.:w00t:
