But yes, I have a HF rig... and talk on it regularly on 80m. Apparently 20m has been good to the US in the afternoons (UTC+10) so when I'm around the radio at that time, I'll have to have a good listen to see what stations come in. Power limit is now 100W, which is the max the radio is capable of anyway. Still looking at a better antenna however -- the antenna I have at present is less than ideal for my needs it seems.

Hopefully the sun will wake up in the coming year and we'll get good enough conditions to do some HF. PSK31 on HF is pretty cool! Do you guys get 30m privs? (10.1-10.150) (do you have an HF rig yet??) 73, -Corey KB9JHU Congrats man!
