KL7Y:
I heard this QSO between ZL1ANJ and WB9Z - but it was evidently WB9Z's freq
as he started CQing immediately after the QSO.  I went up a little and
called ZL1ANJ with no luck.  Eventually I called CQ there for a while and
got an occasional West Coaster, but never heard ZL1ANJ again although he was
579 when working ZED and the band was very quiet then.  Using 1500 watts at
this end.  So I guess it works (or doesn't work, depending on your outlook)
both ways.
