Hi gang,

Just wanted to pass this along.

I just worked a gent named Ollie, W2QXR calling CQ on 20M SSB a few minutes
ago (2111 UTC). I recognized the NYC accent and answered his CQ. Ollie,
located in Atlanta, GA was running an FT-990 with a QRO amp just under the
legal limit. His ant was a 260' delta loop up 80' at the highest point
with a slope towards the NE.

We chatted about NY for a while and he told me that he now has new respect
for QRP after working me. He told me I was 59 at the end of our QSO.

Just a little food for thought.
