    That's a tough one from the East Coast.

    I keep telling people I don't need a beam, but some can't seem to grasp that proper deployment of simple wire antennas can do quite well. My biggest problem is not being able to "turn" the wire.

    The Asian / Pacific region is a challenge not only because of the path, but I have to fight through the West Coast to get there. Of course, they have the same problem with Europe, so I guess it all balances out.

    I was going to say...

    I work Asia and the Pacific islands regularly from here on the Left Coast but I can count the number of my European QSOs on one hand. With a measly 100 watts, I just can't get by you city-slicker Easterners and your kilowatt stations.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Every time you use an amplifier to work DX, you make the Baby Ferf cry.
