I am new to HF having just passed my General and code tests. I am putting up
a dipole the will be running due East/West at about 40ft. I really have no
other options for installation and cannot run it North/South. I am in lower
Michigan. My question is will I be able to make any East Coast contacts
with this? Specifically, I'd like to be able to monitor the W1AW bulletins,
code runs etc. I am interested in contacting the Southern states, but would
like to know if the East will be accessable.

Thanks in advance,
