Thanx Wally and all for the great stories and encouragement. The fact is
despite frustrating situations whenever I work any DX - anywhere in EU or even
W6(!) which is of course duck soup on all the higher bands its still quite a
thrill. My most prized possession is VK6HD's QSL card from a QSO on 1832 2
years
ago - in my shack people think my call is VK6HD because his card is more
prominent that my call plaque. Another great QSO was with a IK6 in mid August
one
day couple years ago at 1700 local! I was playing around with a mag loop and
checking its nulling performance against a neighbors pool filter motor when he
was calling CQ - turns out he was S9 plus on the Inv L and didnt need the
loop. Felt like working South America on 2 meters from here in W2 land.
