I had just switched on and Steve was a solid 579 10 minutes before
my sunset. He was probably workable much earlier had I been there.
He was just starting to fade, 569, when he went QRT about 2203. At
times he peaked 589 which by a narrow margin is the best I've yet
heard VK6 at sunset. The inverted V, southeast Beverage and east
Beverage were all about equal, with the south and north Beverages
only a few dB worse. Probably high angle arrival.
Steve, QRM was an issue when you were working K1CP - we had a
midwest USA station testing on frequency, no doubt not realizing how
strong he was here in the northeast or that we were already into our
gray line and working DX.
There were a few other NA stations calling. Good luck working
further south / west!
73,
Paul N1BUG
