I haven't had as much time to play on HF lately as I'd like. But such is life. Last night, I found a little time and turned on the radio. I have the OCF dipole connected to ANT2 and ANT1 is conntected to the Ameritron amplifier and then then the Mosley beam. I saw a spot on the DX cluster for Malta on 20m SSB. I had not previously worked Malta and I love getting new countries in the log. I listened on my dipole and heard 9H5BZ from 5,200+ miles away at about 4 by 5 (RST). I switched to the beam and turned it to about 55 degrees and was able to copy at 5 by 7. I turned on the amp and I gave him a call. He picked me up quickly and he gave me a 59 RST! I'm still loving the beam!
