Good deal! I hit them fairly quick just now with the new Begali. Not loud but the op is very good.

I stumbled over 7S6W by mistake on 17 meters the other day while playing with the receive DSP settings on my rig - it's amazing what you find when you're just screwing around with settings

I was on the road to Dayton while the E4 was active. Hope someone goes back their again someday. That would be a new one for me too!

Don't hit your Begali. They're cute, cuddly dogs.
Or maybe I didn't spell that right.
Vlad is still there and making contacts--very quickly, I might add.

Listenning to the pileup on him right now on 14207. As usual, NO COPY on the West Coast! I am ready if he ever builds up. Not hearing any EU or anything but stateside now.

No one calling now. Guess he worked everyone on the EAST COAST and Midwest. Only West Coast is hurting!
Oh he shut down. (Just as propogation began to improve to West)
I worked E4/OM2DX when they were there.
I guess I could work vlad for some band fills maybe if I have time.

My favorite is " Worked with 5w from the bottom of a coal mine using an tin foil chewing gum wrapper for an antenna".

Decided to e-mail Vlad on my own..wanted to know if direct mail to him with "green stamps" will work as I do not have a Pay Pal account..not much back but the assurance that the Pay Pal will work..sigh..has anyone here dealt with Vlad on a direct mailing to his home address for a QSL?..too many times "green stamps" have gone out to others with nuttin to show for it..just curious is all..and yes I did work him as E40VB..tnx if anyone has any newer input then what I've gotten thus far..73 de DAVE

Isn't that what everyone is using these days? :rolleyes:
As far as QSL'ing goes, I sent via Paypal for mine. A paypal account doesn't take too long to setup and it's safer.
