Would love to work Iowa. It's the only of the Iowa-class I've not actually seen in person!

 

Been checking for you guys today and hope I don't end up missing you. I just got my new radio and antenna on the air and hoping to catch you.

 

Got you on 17m on my ladder line fed doublet and looking forward to working you on the other bands today.
