Two of my craziest were: Going to 80 one evening 2 hours before sunset and working VQ9QM. He even made a note on the card to express his surprise to work the US at that time. And the funny thing is no one else called him from the US. He went back to running EU which I could not hear.
Sitting on 10 meters with the idea that the expedition to KH1 (SM0AGD/KH1) would be on at a certain time and they would transmit on 28595. Right about the time I figured they would be there so I called them a couple times and he came back then went split. Strangest QSL I ever received was a coconut. Yes an actual coconut that was sent via USPS and NOT packaged. Everything was pasted right to the coconut. That came from my old friend KH6ML. 73 Tim, KQ8M [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Nielsen - N7XY Sent: Friday, September 14, 2018 17:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Craziest / most rewarding QSOs The most rewarding QSO I DIDN'T have: A few sunspot cycles ago I tuned around 10 meters from my then-QTH in California. The ONLY signal I could hear on the entire band was from a beacon station on Reunion Island, very copyable. 73, Bob N7XY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
