> Well I got my first ever QSO tonight. I found an AM group on 75 M, 3885 KHz, 
didn't do much talking, were a bunch of old friends I guess catching up on 
things. They said my signal was good, most or all were from upstate NY, 
probably 300-500 miles from here. The DX-100 puts out about 130 watts on AM. 
The two big AM frequencies around here seem to be 1885 on 160 and 3885 on 
75. So that was a big thrill for me, took me two months of fooling with all 
the stuff to get everything running nice, but the worst part was getting the 
antenna up in the jungle behind the house. Now I'm going to start working on 
the HW-101, is supposed to be ready to go, we'll see,
