Omsk on 20 meters

It took about fifteen minutes of calling to get through but I finally made contact with UA9MA. Gena (short for Genaddij) had an incredible signal all across North America by the sounds of it.

Is it pretty cool to listen to real-time underwater acoustic observation platforms? You bet it is!

Problems encountered

  3. Godforsaken, stupid, Flash-only interface to whole damn site

But the site is probably bandwidth heavy and currently experiencing the Slashdot Effect.
