Lower 48 stations were working plenty of Mexico, Central America, and South America. It was easy to see who was running SteppIR antenna's. I would call them and they were weak and could barely hear me. On their next transmission, they were strong and about 20 over S9 with a flip of that switch. 10 meters is not open very often like this here in Alaska so I had the AMP working to take advantage of the moment. If it were a regular occurrence, I would not hesitate to operate low power. :0) Great job on the contacts!KL8DXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200585132950073517noreply@blogger.com
