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.
Nice contact and a good way to get started. My first contact was actually to
a station in the Dominican Republic from the Midwest about 1500 or so miles
