Worked my first station in a communist country today - Boulder, Colorado. :sombrero:

J/K, really it was a guy in Santiago de Cuba. The lower bands are really open and propagating lately; in the last week I've worked Greece, Japan, Norway, Germany, and The Netherlands (besides Cuba), mostly on 10 meters though a few on 17 meters. All with only a 100-watt mobile radio and a portable antenna. Ham radio is a great hobby if you like to meet and talk to people from other countries. Like taking a mini-expedition without leaving home or your truck.

10 Meters has been fantastic these last few months, I hope it stays open and propagating for a long time to come. You can work the whole world on it currently; Europe in the morning and Japan and the rest of the Pacific in the afternoon/evening. The other HF bands are fun too but 10M really kicks butt during the daytime. Good luck on your General Class exam.

I had my marine license For a bit but just passed my HAM exam last month. Last week I got myself a nice and simple ic2300h and mounted it inside my truck, works real nice.

And I got myself a sweet callsign that match my truck!
