I worked VK6LW with 100 watts at 11:33 Z this morning. He was peaking nicely here at SC sunrise. WOW, that was fun !
I'm in the process of putting up antennas for 160 at my South Carolina QTH. Inverted L with apex at 50 feet with 14 longish (75-100 feet) radials so far. No RX antennas yet. No amplifier at this QTH yet either. I heard other VK's over the past couple of mornings as well as JH1HDT this morning, I was surprised how strong HL5IVL was yesterday morning. I called several times but he did not hear me. VK2WF got a partial call sign for me but we didn't make the QSO. He was very strong at my sunrise each morning I heard him. Getting ready for the upcoming 160 contest season. Fun stuff !! Joe N3hEE > On 10/04/2020 8:10 AM [email protected] wrote: > > > worked Kevin on first call, simplex.
