AJ5H Garland, TX USA 4 7 Dallas County EM12px

June 21, 2008; 28 MHz CW

If recalled correctly, this QSO was made from Vern's truck or just after he got home while monitoring the band from his vehicle. In any case, he was delighted to run across a warm body on the 10-meter band at a time back then when the SFI was low. Given the time of year, it was likely an Es QSO.

Ed has a great signal from Guam and is active on many bands, including Top Band. It's always a delight to run across him from either side of the Pacific Ocean.
