Just worked Brian K9VKY from Pennsylvania in the Novice Rig Roundup. Brian was running a vintage Globe Chief with XTAL transmitter. The XTAL was for 7115 Khz and that's just about what I had estimated. He was pushing out 40 watts and gave me a 589. I gave him a 589 right back. Band conditions (SSN:14 SFI:75 A:20 K:2) on 40m have not improved and we had to wait for QRM dragged in by the QSB.
Shortly afterwards, I made contact with Greg WA8JPC down in West Virginia, We had a great but short QSO, got the particulars exchanged and then QSB and some QRM brought an end to the contact. West Virginia is a great state to have in the log already. So that's three! Only 47 more to go.

I think I will paper QSL these WAS contacts from the HW8...it just feels right.
