Lucas, nice video. I also live in the Bay Area. My current DX challenge is making contacts in Kuwait , India, Israel and surrounding middle eastern countries. I can hear the US midwestern states making contact but I just can’t hear the Middle East stations well enough . I am using dipoles on 20 , 10, 12, 15 & 17 meters. 20 is at 50’ and 10 is 40’. I get close but no cigar. Is this also a challenge for you living on the West coast?
I bought your book from you at the West Valley electronics flea market on DXing, very informative. I enjoyed it very much. I think I will try a 20M vertical maybe with a reflector and see how that works. Thanks for all the things you are doing for ham radio.

Yes, in fact those entities are some of the most difficult for me to work in W6 land. I think that many of us share the same issues. Also, thank you for your support and kind words. 73!
