Paul shows off his roof mounted 28-foot DX Vertical Antenna by Greyline Performance. "Been working Europe easy with 100W" Work DX on all bands, like Paul.

Happy Wife, Happy Ham! "With 600 watts I can talk all over especially into Europe. 5-9 plus 10db signal reports from most contacts." New Ham in farm country loves the quiet bands & loud signals. His wife really likes his DX Flagpole when the flag is flying too. He's having so much fun, he's upgraded to Extra.

 

We are lucky to be alive to learn from the wisdom of the ages of our Elmers and the Living Legends of Ham Radio at the intersection of 2020 and technology. Exactly three years ago, on September 6th, 2017, the Sun ejected the strongest solar flare and Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) of solar cycle 24. See the attached YouTube video! 

Update 9.11.20: Look at this DX Map!

After retiring from an Aerospace Antenna Company in Jan 2020, Rob chose a Greyline Performance 20' DX Flagpole for his HOA. His wife is so pleased as it is reminiscent of growing up at her folk's home. Rob has a happy XYL and is working DX 160-6M. Be like Rob.

One lucky ham in Oceanside, CA., reports in that he built his antenna and was on the air being heard on every continent, on the first day, with 30 Watts! See Pictures and read his Story today. Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on.
