Hi Mike,
Wow! What super condx today on the Top Band. Nice to work VK6HD again!
When I first called you at 1058Z with 100 Watts you were S6 and building.
I switched down to the 5 Watt QRP power level, got the puny 319 report
from you and put it in the log. About 5 minutes later your signal got much
louder, so I called again, this time with the call of my son Andy, K1RA,
also licenced to this station. I just wanted to show you just how good
your ears are and work you without you knowing the call of the QRP station.
Tnx for the 559 report.
I heard from a number of stations via packet who reported working you with
low power today, so conditions sure were enhanced to VK6 land.
Australia is QRP country #71 on the Top Band and needless to say, VK6 is
my best QRP DX ! Now what can I do to top it? Tnx again for another big
thrill. 160 METERS.... WHAT A BAND!!!
