"If anyone is curious ... I had set up an Alpha-Delta DX-CC multiband dipole wire antenna in NVIS mode. On 40 meters, Reno, Carson Valley, and Southern California came in clear as a bell from Eastern Nevada."

In our local club, I would rate myself "Most Likely To Hit the Target". I know the thinking of most folks is to go as fast as possible, but I can't help but think that this sport is a simulation of a gun fight.

BTW, my fast draw handle is "El Oso" (The Bear). It fits.
