V84SAA was loud here again this morning, saw them go to FT-8 and needed
V8 on digi, they replied after a couple calls, they peaked at -5 for
an hour and a half
from around 1600Z to 1730Z.
They have been loud here of course on 160/80/40 etc. great operators
to hear
me during the EU pile ups and listening on the EU antenna. On CW the op
replied to RK9FD at first and was surprised when I corrected to just K9FD.
Thanks guys for the effort, good job, of course from KH6 much easier
than from
K1.

Tough tamales with the last shot at their
SS this morning on 160. Just as their
brief signal began to appear in CT, a WH6
contest station started calling CQ test
200 Hz above and though several sent QSY
to him, he insisted on staying put &
finally it became a debacle and I turned
off the radio.
I love contests but I always QSY when I
forget to QRL and start transmitting &
someone sends QSY. It's beyond me why
others don't do the same.
