Sorry-should have sent this to 3830 in the first place!

Also, the entry is ***Single Op-Unassisted***, not SO-Unlimited, as sent
out on CQ-Contest!  Double sorries.

>"anyone in Australia to give me a hand."  At precisely 2359:15, VK6WR
>called in LP over Europe with an S9 signal and said "sure, mate, what doya

>what a pleasant ending it was for ten minutes while the equipment cooled
>down.  A great ending-the best ever for me.  I really enjoyed the SSB

>always is to make the top ten from here.  Who knows, maybe this will be
