When you're battling with big European stations of 2kw and more with huge beams with only a puny 100w and a vertical it can be tough. I caught some lucky breaks - ZS6X in the car for instance, getting JA coming back to my CQ, again in the car, and hearing OX3KQ's first CQ too meant I was the first one he picked up. Perseverance is definitely the key!! Keep on trying, that's what I say. I have built up an impressive list of DX countries with my humble setup! 73 for now de EI2KCHamRadioIrelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008583900692977974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-4519756752774897002010-08-20T21:02:05.733+01:002010-08-20T21:02:05.733+01:00Hi Anthony, great catch there I have to say, I hav...Hi Anthony, great catch there I have to say, I have been trying to break the pile up's not easy, was trying for 2 seperate stations from Borneo yesterday afternoon to no avail, along with VK on 20m in the morning, your not so little list gives me great inspiration.<br /><br />Best 73, Paul.Paul M0PCZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826957754325181436noreply@blogger.com
