Damn' Straight! Worked Israel on Tuesday afternoon on 20Meters. Had the Mosley Tri-Bander pointed his direction, got him on the third attempt over a massive pile-up.
I didn't even need the amplifier (2KW) for it. Never bothered to turn it on.
Last night I got Russia (RU1A) over the north pole on 20M using my beam and 1500 Watts. Today I managed to get E77DX (Bosnia-Herzegovina) on 20 Meters with the beam and 100 Watts.
Over 140 confirmed countries under my belt thus far.
