Below I have my log from the Dominican Republic. A few noteworthy contacts highlighted in yellow. The first contact was actually on 30 meters, My guess is that the 20 meter EFHW and the counterpoise got close to half wave on 30. <\/i><\/b><\/span>

<\/i><\/b><\/span> AE7KI’s was a famiiar voice. Terry transmits from Tennessee but his voice is from down under. I recognized him before I heard the callsign. <\/i><\/b><\/span>

<\/i><\/b><\/span> F6HKA was a familiar call. I checked — he was a Straight Key Night contact from one year ago. Great to meet up with Bert again. <\/i><\/b><\/span>

<\/i><\/b><\/span> The Aeronautical Mobile contact was icing on the cake. More on this tomorrow…<\/i><\/b><\/span>

<\/i><\/b><\/span> Thanks to all who contacted me or tried. <\/i><\/b><\/span>
