Single Band 10m only effort *(yes, I know such a category does not exist)
My most memorable QSO this contest has to go to VK6LW @ roughly 8:30am local
time. I was tuning for "mults" (notice the quote marks) and could
hear him working a string of G stns. I rocked the beam down to the south as I
had been parked on the UK, but his signal went down !!! What the? Back and
forth I went and finally I realized that it was not long path, but some kind of
crazy skewed path up over EU.....So, I with a little persistence I put him in
the log. I'd be curious to know if KS Smith worked any other NA around this
time or any other VE's worked any VK/ZL etc. around this time on 10m. I cannot
remember the last time I worked a VK6 in my morning time, especially as it was
not true greyline, nor was it true LP and much too early for SP.
C4Z was about 20/9 here, rolling through a wall of G's like they were bowling
pins. Thanks for the call Brian.
I just operated a few minutes here and there, but when I came back late
afternoon, well after sunset in G, there were still some really loud UK boys
hammering in. Worked a bunch off the back, as I was beaming VK/ZL by that
time.
WEll done lads !
Mike VE9AA, IC7410 ~500w & 5el @ 24'..Yamaha headgear a la CM500
p.s.-this contest would be a lot more entertaining if everyone could work
everyone and Commonwealth were "mults"....yes, I know, I
know....it'll never happen due to tradition. Had a lot of EU and USA call me
when working G's...
