<p>We're still trying to get out on SSB on 20m and 40m, Gary suggested it's our antennas which is probably the problem. I'd like to direct people trying to call us to other stations operating as W4E so they can make the contact. Let me know what frequency/mode
you're on and we'll mention you. We're also considering operating more W4E events, because the 160th anniversary spans an entire year. Hopefully in locations that allows us to put up some larger antennas.</p>

<p>Also, thanks for putting W4E up on WSPR.</p>
