I actually "worked" AO-51 this afternoon during the 17:24 PDT pass (CN 89) while driving home using my Yaesu VX-6R on 5 watts with a dual band mag mount.  Is that even possible?  I heard contacts as far as DM, but only someone from CN copied me.  Even so, I thought it was quite amazing.  I thought it wasn't as easy as that...I'm still new at this!
