I worked ZF2EK in Grand Cayman on 40 meter CW on the way to work Thursday morning. I worked one fox but not the other Thursday night. I also tuned my extra 40 meter Hamstick to the phone portion of the band, but have not had any 40 meter phone contacts yet.
Friday I set up some memory channels on the 7000 for AO-51 and SO-50. I caught a pass of SO-50 and was able to determine that my antenna is a net attenuator on 70 cm - heard nothing at all. I will be looking into a good dual band soon.
Saturday I worked XE1L on 14.300 for my 1st ever 20 meter phone contact, and got a 5x9 report to boot. Later I worked TO5J in Martinique on 20 cw.
I also worked W0PTI on 6 meter CW. He is in Watauga, for a DX contact of about 14 miles.
