WA7CS

I called CQ on 14.060 and WA7CS Carl in a cabin near Spokane, WA answered me 589 and gave me a 549 with his SGC 2020. Carl was enjoying the 30F WX and watching the lake freeze over. Carl was running 20W into a vertical and suggested I try a counterpoise into the water, but then he lost me in QRM. I don't know if the counterpoise did it. It was 16ft long and so there was a voltage node at the water...maybe I should have used a different length...
