Topband: 160m CONDX Friday September 22nd

[Steve Babcock]

Great stuff Bob,

This morning I “heard” your QSO with Kevin, except VK6LW was a solid 579, and yet your signal was zero copy. Nothing. Not even a trace on my waterfall from your 5w.
Pretty cool.  That’s 3,000 km per watt.  Pretty strong DX for both you and Kevin.

Steve, ve6wz

Sitting in wonder I again called and got 449 running 5W for 15, 553km path. Timing is a virtue. Of note pointed out by Tree 10m and 160m both open at the same time!
