   For me the biggest boones have been the ability to use 40 meters with my   
   MFJ-1775 dipole and work around the world or at least into EU, AF SA and PAC   
   and of course NA.   
      
   It has allowed me to grab some DX and I'm surprised they call me so my signal   
   must be getting out there. Of course much better success on HF with the SteppIR   
   beam.  Being a county hunter for years I am now at 2076 digital counties   
   worked.  Striving toward that magical 3077 number.
