Default First HF QSO 2,000+ Miles on 10 Watts

I was tweaking my VOX settings while transmitting some text and a guy
gave me a 599 from Palmyra Virginia.

Ten-Tec 516 Argonaut V. Top loaded mast w/ half sloper. Santa Clara
River at Sand Canyon Rd.

The Argonaut V is a cool little SDR transceiver; very high-tech
innards; looks like a CB.

Transmitting is fun.
