No copy on Dieter here in Iowa last night when he went to 160. Not a
peep. However, K0HA over in Nebraska must have been copying as I heard
him calling. However, he was S5-S6 on 80 mtrs and was working stations
(a pretty good sized pileup) at a rapid rate. I was fortunate to get
through the east coast and work him.
Gee. . . VK9LX on the morning on 160, then 5A2A in the evening on 80. .
.. both new band countries. . . all in one day!
