[NCC] Fw: CQWW VHF W1NN SOSB/6 LP

[Hal Offutt]

Thanks to Tim and Jim for the reminders about this event.  80 meter dipole 
works FB on 6.

I came across a funny English accent around 1600Z and finally picked out the 
call ZS2M!  I almost fell out of my chair.  Unfortunately he was not 
operating the contest and was taking about five minutes for each contact, 
and then he went QRT,  so no QSO.  I think this is the first real DX I've 
ever heard on Six.  It's nice to know that such contacts are actually 
possible.

73, Hal W1NN
