0730z Europe - Anzo net on 14,293 Long
Path.
I was up
early and got a contact with UX4UA Nick
in Kiev, first in a long time.
He was 4/3
at 0630z and up to steady 5/9 by 0713z.
He had
worked Henk VK2GWK 5/9 a little earlier
!
I also got
John EA/G4HMG/p at 0647z and Pertti
EA7GSU at 0700z,
both 5/9
here though they could not hear each
other.
I still had
no detectable signals from the VK
stations. Keep trying !
Again
thanks to Klaus HB9CQS for the following
report : -
Greetings Bill,
As on
several other Sunday mornings I
started at 07:00z because the
band has been dead before then. Not
on this Sunday morning.
When I called CQ RI net at 07:00z, I
learned that it is again possible to
work Australia in the morning and -
equally important -
that I was on the point of being too
late for working VK2. In the future
I will do my best to be there at
06:30z.

my beam. Nice to hear Nick again.

Bay earlier, but was fading out

had absolutely no copy on Pertti and

I was told, but unfortunately only
