Hi Rune,
Glad we did finally make the contact!
73, Ray W2RE
Hi and thanks for the QSO, I was somewhat surprised when you called me at 21,300 mhz after I had posted my greeting at w2re.com guest book.
After looking at your web page I must say I am impressed by the masts and antennas which have at their disposal. An incredibly good signal at my house.
Hope to see you again

Would you do a dx session for QRP stations? I have a full size G5RV and 10 Watts! I have heard you at 35+db!!!!
Cheers
Al
Yes! We worked you and a bunch of other qrp stations.
73, Ray W2RE
No wonder you had the strong 59+ yesterday at 6.20 your time, working europe on 14.185! You sounded like my local 2m repeater with no qsb at all. I did not try a call as I did not expect to be heard in the pileup with my FT-817 and dipole just 4m above ground, from my cabin located on a island outside Kristiansund, Norway. Lost you when you qsy 15m.
Fantastic antenna system you got there! I have troubles keeping even small wire-ants in the air due to the wind and iceing on this side. Best 73s and good dx!!
Hi Erik,
You should have tried calling me! Thanks for nice signal report on your antenna @ 4M.

Well done on the station, looks excellent.
I heard Ray W2RE this morning on 20m long path. Might make the contact one day.
Hi leigh,
Thanks for the kind words. I wish we could have made the contact.
Hope to have qso in 2011.
