[SEDXC] LOW BAND DX

[John Laney]

Right.  And Sunday at 2329Z, I worked 9V1YC on 40M (7005 kHz).  I don't 
have a directional antenna for 40, but I am sure James was long path.  I 
have worked James in June on 40M around 1100Z short path.  Merry 
Christmas to all.  73, John, K4BAI.

The last few days on 30 M in the later afternoons, 22-23:30 there has been some excellent long path via the southeast to Asia.  With the 200 watt power limit on 30 M and my homebrew 2 ele yagi on FT8 I have worked tons of Japan, also worked Hong Kong, Viet Nam, Ogasawara, and Maylasia.  A Singapore station answered my call but we could not complete the QSO.
