Topband: VK9ML 160 qsy requests

[KG6DV@cs.com]

I worked the VK9ML expedition this morning on 80CW at 1434Z and decided to 
leave the rig on their frequency just to see what happened to their signal 
during the sunrise period.  While waiting I noticed something that some of 
you might be interested in. There were a lot of very nice signals out of 
Europe on 80,  several of these stations asked for a quick qsy contact on 160 
and the VK9ML operator honored the request on every occasion.  He left the 80 
meter frequency at 1615, 1640, 1711, 1733, 1800, and 1840 while I was 
listening, each time to return within minutes and resume working on 80 
meters.  One loud S53 even passed the callsigns of two other S5 stations that 
would also be waiting on 160 for a qso. the VK9 operator acknowledged the 
calls. The European pileup was not hot and heavy but steady.  This may not 
work at other times but it seems it cant hurt to ask.  At one point I couldnt 
resist and followed them down to 160 for a cheap one.

Aloha and GL
