Good Morning: A few weeks ago I posed a question to the group regarding my 160m noise floor (S-9 most of the time). Despite my high noise floor and limited antenna, I heard a VK3 in a CW QSO with a U.S. station this morning around 0500 PDT / 1200Z. The VK3 was weak, but clearly there. This is getting interesting. 73 Brian, KD6NRP
