Anything is possible when propagation is in your favor, isn't it? 2 or 3 nights ago at around 0600Z, I was playing with one of the propagation programs and it was predicting propag on 15m to the South Pacific and nowhere else. So I jumped up there. Nothing on CW so went looking on SSB. Three VK2s were in QSO with one another via ground wave and a VK4HFO was calling CQ. That's it for the entire band. I switched to USB from CW, but forgot to increase power from 5 watts. He came right back with a 559.
All good things come to an end. Today, is the pits.

In just over an hour, did 51 QSO's, more than I normally do in any contest at any time with 100 w from W6. These incl ZL, LU, CX, PY, PJ2, V31, all with 5 watts into a vertical. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
