W1SYE at Fox Island on Air: 14.262

After a few rig hiccups, W1SYE is on the air at Fox Island, soon to be RI025S, and beginning to work their pileup.  Close to this author’s location, their signal is booming, and I can’t help but notice that I am not hearing the stations they are working.  So their salt-water vertical is doing a wonderful job.  They have worked at least one DX entity and many US stations so far.
