Well kept secret indeed! I had been having trouble with my FO-29
uplink signal during FD at W8GK. I went to Plan "B" and tried a SO-50
pass and BINGO .. worked a Radio Club in KS (W0MI). It was a solid
contact with good signals both ways and we literally had the bird all
to ourselves. Unbelievable for a FD weekend. Thank you SO-50!!!
