Spoke to Dan (K8RF), one of the two VK9LX ops, on 20 m phone tonite abt
their first try on 160M. They apparently had had severe rain storms that
hampered their rx on top band but still managed to work many USA from
1822 between 09 and 13Z.
Apparently they have put out short beverages to help in that regard but
the poor wx was improving as well. I suggested they move up since there
was SSB QRM today below their freq. Dan said they would be on again tmw
AM (USA) tx between 1824-25, QSX up.
Suspect they will do well on top band from that QTH considering how loud
they were today - and the absence of other Pacific signals.
Good luck
