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.
