Topband: Summer Stew Perry

[Steve Ireland]

G'day

 

Phil VK6GX and myself were both active in the 'Summer Stew' over the
weekend.  Phil did a lot more hours than me but I was active for about two
and a half hours after VK6 sunset yesterday.

 

Only made five QSOs but the best was with KL7RA (QRA BP40) at 1003Z and N6RO
was heard up to 559, although I couldn't raise him, so there was propagation
into western North America from here.  Unfortunately the All Asia contest
seemed to have soaked up most of the activity.  

 

Active on 160m during this time was DU1/JJ5GMJ, who has an excellent signal
and hears well, for those stations who need the Phillipines.
