What a thrill to work FT5XO this morning
at 1349 utc on Top Band!!!
My sunrise was 1347, and as close as I can
figure THEIR sunset was 1317 -
They peaked real nicely at my sunrise !
It was very frustrating to be copying them well
while they were busy working JA stations today
but finally they heard the W6/ W7 crowd -
and the WEST coast crowd called in FORCE !!!
I have a new MANTRA - repeat after me :
" EQUINOX RULES ANTIPODES ! "
Conditions seemed dim with just a few JA stations
coming thru earlier - and FT5XO is using only 100 watts -
I am amazed and dumbfounded !!!
I hope I never become so JADED that I find
no excitement in DXING ! I got pretty excited at the
time of THIS CONTACT !!
