Hi Gang,
What a pleasant surprise to hear VK9WI coming in a solid 599 at 1230Z today.
It was especially nice because all my beverages are rolled up. I was listening
on my vertically polarized, 10m circumference, shielded loop. I could barely
hear the JA's calling him however. My sunrise is 1256Z, and he is still 539
at 1316Z, working JA & YB stations. Copy on my vertical tx antenna was very
poor, so think his signals may have been at a high angle.
73 & DX,
Dick - N6FF
