XQ6ET not heard on 12 Jun.  I did hear VK3ZL working W7AWA on 1825 at
about 1130Z.  My topband antenna has a radiation angle of about 30+ deg,
so, while it's not a cloud warmer, it isn't a DX'er either.  I'm looking
at an Inverted L later in the summer.  Hopefully, something radiating
nearer
the horizon will improve things for me.
