DX'ing on 40m with 100W, this is possible !

During the past week, despite on the averagely poor conditions, I could make some new ones on 40m using 100W only (even going through pile-ups, HI !)

I also missed ZL3GS that I was guessing in my noise on 80m this morning, but this is the very first time I could hear this area on 80m !!!!!!!!

So even if you are not a big gun with big antennas and big power, there is always a chance to talk to the other side of the worl or to go through big pile-ups even with modest conditions, HI !

Thanks to those 3 guys to have picked my barefoot signal, making me happier than never !!!!!

Yes, the HF2V radiates efficiently it seems (but I still have in my mind to increase the number of radials from 40 up to 80 for the next winter season !)
