[Mldxcc] [NCDXC Chat] DX SPOT: VK9WA 3.8037 up 5-10

[Rick Bates (WA6NHC)]

Outstanding Al, well done.  

The previous op made several comments about needing to be a big to overcome their noise but conditions from our side sure made it happen.  I was maxed out at 600 watts (Ah kennah do no more Cap'n). 

80 phone, at last.  I listened when they were on 160, no joy there.  That would have been surreal and a band sweep. 

GREAT effort by the team, more patient than I would have been.  Safe journeys home!

73,
Rick WA6NHC

Tiny iPhone keypad, spell check happens

I flipped the amp back on (and left to make lunch while the filaments warmed up).  When I gob back 3 minutes later, he was still on 3803 so I made one blind call up and got a contact!  Dumb luck.  He then announced he was going back to 3793 but still listening above 3803.  So, a pileup starts on 3793 before he even announces himself!  I left happy and do not how things transpired from then on.
