Big surprise working ZL3IX at 1023Z this morning with only 100 watts and no RX antenna up yet.  He was S9 at times !  I saw the spot but was sure I wouldn’t be able to hear him.  Boy was I surprised when I tuned to his frequency and heard him like he was a local.  The amp wasn’t warmed up yet so I gave him a call with 100 watts and he came right back on the first try. 


This is the second time I have experienced this phenomenon on 160.  I worked VK3IO last year about the same time of year where he was very strong and easy to work.  I will have to pay more attention to 160 this time of year.


Fun !
