Topband: V31 to VK/ZL

[Steve Ireland]

Hi Iain

I am one of the lucky VKs who have worked V31 Belize on 160m – V31YN on 03/01/2005 at 1217Z (very near his sunrise I think). The operator was Gerd, DJ4KW and my recollection he was running 100W (from a very good location).

I guess the answer to your question is there has been very little serious 160m operation from V31 in a very long time and working VK/ZL is pretty hard from there anyway. I am sure Mike VK6HD (SK) also worked Gerd.

In theory it should be easier to work the east coast of VK from V31 than VK6, as the path is somewhat shorter. I am sure the east coast VK and ZL topbanders would love a shot at working you before/after the Commonwealth Contest.
