Stealth set-up is working!

I'm happy to report that my stealth vertical in the backyard is working better than I had hoped. In the past few days I have snagged 9J2BO, FW8DX and BA5AN on 40m CW, among others. I'm not sure if its due to fact that I actually have radials on the vertical this time. But I've got a bad feeling that I won't be getting into Europe very often since the antenna can only be up at night. I do have a backpack antenna that I might setup for daylight activities, but its efficiency has to be in the single digits. :-(

My code still feels pretty rusty, but I guess that will come back in time.

73,
