Topband: VKs This Morning

[daraymond at iowatelecom.net]

I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the radio this morning to see VK5CZ 
show up on RBN.  I tuned onto his freq was able to hear him but very weak 
(339) and called him.  I believe he responded but had faded.  After a couple 
of exchanges we got in sync with each other for a good QSO.   VK5CZ was a 
first time call sign.  I then installed the 1821.5 xtal and called CQ for a 
while.  Steve/VK7CW soon called in (559).  Then a few minutes later 
Adrian/VK2WF called in (569).  So today was all things VK.          73. . .

I sent this to the members of our local radio club as I'm trying to get
them to understand the importance of SR and SS on 80 and 160M;  I thought
some of you may enjoy it.   March is here and conditions should be
improving for NA to VK/ZL contacts....  I hope this morning is a good sign..
