btw, it is just about 81 years since the first transatlantic 2 way QSO
on "short waves". Americans 1XAM/1MO and 1QP (in CT, right across the
Sound from you) at this end, and French 8AB at the other end.
November, 1923. They ran a bit more than 3 watts, though.

73 es congrats de Jim, N2EY

Did you QSL?

You betcha! Had the envelopes (Outgoing and return.) printed before
the rig cooled down. I QSL 100% anyway...and yeah, I've learned that a
"greenstamp" (Or two, depending on the QTH and/or op.) helps the
return rate on DX QSL's.

Take care es...
