    I got licensed in my 30s after wanting to when I was a kid. My farthest contact is 15000km from the US to Australia running 20W into a dipole hanging from a tree.

    Wild. Was that SSB or CW? From some time I spent in New Mexico a couple of years ago I managed to hit Malaysia on 100W SSB. I was floating!
