Paul,

For Park QRP I now have a Yaesu FT-818 w/CW 300 filter but have not updated my QRZ page yet.  At the base, as used last night, I use my Yaesu FT-450D with its DSP and Filters @ 300 CW and a 9:1 35ft EF Inv V.  

What I need to work on 7122 is a super beam but due to HOA there's no chance.  I realize that they have the right to be there but it seems that they are centered on 7125 and probably at QRO level, in Spanish which I don't speak with probably a slightly loose transmitter.  I simply cannot overcome their signals with all of my weapons.  I can just almost see the edge of the Gulf of Mexico from my rooftop so I have a good shot to Latin America. They do disappear around 7120.

When Bill, KV6Z ran the Net I could work him FB just about every time but the SB group was not on the air then.

I guess that I will not even try if I hear them on, I haven't been able to hit the Net from Maine either but that's not surprising due to the trees in the campground there, I may try from the beach this year as the is now open till 2200L.

Thanks for your concern, we'll not loose faith !

73,

John
