Hello TP,
Last Saturday I worked ZL8X for over 17000km path. What amazing signal...It was
the last 15min of there sun rise. Big pile-up but great signal and great
operator.
T/RX antenna on my side was INV-L and about 600W. Frequency 1826.5 listening
about 1829-30.
It worth give theme a try!
Good luck.
