Topband: VK6LR Kevin sigs 559-569 from 1111z-1145z this morning on 1821.4 (cw)

[Joe Galicic]

I worked VK6LW with 100 watts at 11:33 Z this morning.  He was peaking nicely here at SC sunrise.  WOW, that was fun !  

I'm in the process of putting up antennas for 160 at my South Carolina QTH.  Inverted L with apex at 50 feet with 14 longish (75-100 feet) radials so far.  No RX antennas yet.  No amplifier at this QTH yet either.

I heard other VK's over the past couple of mornings as well as JH1HDT this morning, I was surprised how strong HL5IVL was yesterday morning. I called several times but he did not hear me.  VK2WF got a partial call sign for me but we didn't make the QSO. He was very strong at my sunrise each morning I heard him.

Getting ready for the upcoming 160 contest season.  

Fun stuff !!
