Yeah, it would be nice, I mean, not to have that, but to talk to everybody the way like you and I were talking, you know. I did work Mike in Indiana on 40 meters. He and I talked for a while one day and he was clear too, just running, you know, 100 watts wire antennas. And yeah, but that's, you know, Stryker's what it is, 80 watts out. It's one of those that they use all 11, they can be used for 10. But it doesn't have a VFO, and so, you know, you can be slightly off frequency without knowing it, you know. But yeah, we had that fun, I worked a guy on, I'm trying to think of the name of the island, he was on, I don't know, 15 meters. It was, God, let me see what it was. Elba Island, it was the one that Napoleon lived in for a while, maybe he was exiled there or something. But yeah, he was exiled there, that's right, back in 1814. I just looked at it, but probably it wasn't 15 meters, but the signals were so strange though, because a guy on 15 this morning was 65 air miles from me and he was like, you know, 20 dB over S9. This just never happened, you know, so it was really interesting.
