What frequency was it? What radio are you using?

Right above the techie portion on 28.510. I'm using
my old 2950 and I couldn't take being semi-QRP, so I
brought out my 2x455 box. I turn the RF on the radio
all the way down and use the low setting on the box.
Puts me up at the 100 watt level. The antenna is a
Wilson 1000 this week. It's a beater car so I'm drilling.
Got my NOS ball mount from 1994, some new RG-8X and
one of my Firestik KW-7's and I'm gonna rock & roll!
These Firestiks have talked on 3 previous vehicles.
Time for #4...
