All,

A follow up on my post. This AM PP5JR was calling CQ on FT8 with no takers. So why not call and work which I did.

Later at 30 min before sunrise I was calling CQ on CW and had Phil VK6GX come back with absolutely crazy strong signal of S9 plus 10 ++.. Phil is almost 10,000 miles away!

Who says there is no DX on 160 in summer and Solar Maximum?

1.  It's winter in VK.
2.  VK and PY are transequatorial which is way easier than transpolar.
3.  You have a big antenna farm away from RFI.

Still, congrats on this DX!
