Nice 10M "E" opening to Maine, 12/22/2019, 22:45UTC.

Yeah, nice "E" QSO to near Augusta, ME on 28.415MHz USB. Signal from S1 - S9 peak. I worked this guy with a re-CAP'ed late 80's RCI-2950 with just over 20W PEP to a reconditioned 10M Ringo 1/2-wave GND Plane. I hope that we have a great "E" season this winter, but this is a nice start. Even better, when 6M opens up.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
