Topband: VK0EK Operation From Spit

[VE6WZ Steve]

Actually, they were on 160m this morning beginning before their sunset.
Vadym (UT6UD) the 160m op checked into the on4kst lowband chat room at 12:38 utc and confirmed he was clg CQ on 1818.5 rx dwn. I didn't copy him, an no one else seemed to either, and for some reason DXA did not show them as active at the time. Perhaps just bad prop today. I'm sure he will be back again tomorrow am at his SS.
