"Hi
Bill
We
had
absolutely
no
sign
of
propagation
to
Europe
once
again.
Peter
VK3KCD
advised
me
that
he
contacted
Teru
JM2HBO
at
0629z.
Next
Rob
ZL1RD
checked
in.
As I
was
laying
tiles
in
the
shack's
bathroom,
Diane
VK4KYL
then
checked
in
and
made
contact
with
all
3
stations.
I
was
able
to
gain
control
of
the
mike
at
around
0645z.
Teru
was
having
problems
copying
most
stations
due
to
Japanese
contest
QRM.
Noel
VK2IWT
called
in
around
0700z,
followed
by
Bob
VK2SOB
(a
friend
of
Noel's
and
a
Lion).
Peter
VK3KCD
advised
that
he
would
not
be
on
next
week
as
he
would
be
in
Melbourne
and
was
preparing
to
travel
to
Birmingham
to
the
International
Conference.
Bob
VK2SOB
was
very
familiar
with
Birmingham
as
he
had
attended
a
Lions
Conference
there
a
few
years
ago.
Noel
VK6BJ
called
in
to
say
hi.
Noel
is
located
in
Kalgoorlie,
my
old
stomping
grounds.
By
0715z
all
stations
had
left
the
frequency
except
Teru
san
who
advised
that
he
was
still
copying
me
ok
and
wanted
to
exchange
reports
with
Diane
VK4KYL.
Teru
is a
First
Class
Architect
and
a
Land
Surveyor.
