But by far the greatest highlight of the morning was VP6T, Pitcairn Island, on 80m CW. This is a brand new country for me, never worked before, and to get it on 80m was a real pleasure. For a short time he was 579 and it only took me a couple of calls to get into the log. That was around 8.30am, with EI just coming out of the grey line. VP6T's signal faded fairly quickly after that such that I would not have been able to work them 10 minutes after I did. Great job. To make it even better, I am in their online log, so the QSO is solid. Thanks guys.
Well done on the VP6 Anthony I heard him work you but by the time I got tuned up he was gone, he came back on SSB at 9am but was way to weak to work.
ReplyDeleteI have had 2 80m SSB qso's with HK0NA and neither of them have been logged correctly, let's hope for third time lucky when I get home from work in a few hours.
Great job on all the band fills with HK0 I have some catching up to do,
Well I was concentrating on HK0NA to the detriment of VP6T but the piles were just too big. I nabbed VP6T again this morning on 40m CW so I am chuffed with that. HK0NA is there for a good while longer Trevor so I've no doubt you will fill out the slots fairly handily. I need to work them on RTTY now - that's the next challenge! And, perhaps, another slot or two with Pitcairn. Good hunting!!
