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!!!
