I looked at some of the fourms and seen the HF, 10m, 12m ect ect contact/conditions but no 11m, I did not want to disturb the groove. Sat down for a bit at the radio today, of course 27.385LSB here in the states can be a flat out mess, Today was busy with Florida state, stations and alike in my RX, but between the key up mess I heard a Division 14 something something ect. I thought "No way, there is a clown in the circus" lol He called again with only catching part of what he said between station key ups. And I got "27.410" So off I went, heard him quite well with no traffic. Called out to him after the contact left him hanging within the QSY. We chatted for a good while with conditions up and down but solid enough to hear words. what I got out of it was 14-2A 223 Luca was the operator ( those accents are tough) lol Pleased my station mess of cobbeledness made the trip to France from Colorado. 100watts, Sigma 5/8 @20ft off the ground. I did a get a good part of the video gate. (2ct351 on You tube) I was nervious as this kind of contact doesn't happen often, not for me any ways. Hope Cycle 25 hangs in for a bit. So I can get back into character!! 2CT351 NColorado (stuck in the middle) 73 Update, received a Email today 14SD223 Luc is the French station

@ Cozzmik I have it as well, I wish I had a chance to install the beam, but maybe between nasty cold winter days ahead, I might get at least 2 elements out of the 4 up and running.
