Hello All,
I worked VP9RI last night at 2217 on 1827. I heard him calling around 1813
about 10 mins earlier, he was weak and didn't reply to my call. On moving up
the band I found him and had a quick exchange, some other Europeans worked him
as well.
VP9 is my 91st DXCC on 160m and I am sure you can all appreciate the thrill of
working a new one on the way to the magic 100 DXCC. BUT having searched the
usual DX info pages for VP9RI info I have drawn a blank .....anyone know who it
might be ?
A couple of things a remarkable about the QSO - having checked my grey line
chart it seems I made a G-VP9 qso well before his sunset ( and in August). I
had also been working on my new inv-L for the coming season yesterday afternoon
and I made this QSO on the remaining vertical length of wire from the old Inv-L.
I'd love to think that this is one of my all time best Topband QSO's
but......I'm not sure. Did you work VP9RI, do you have any QSL info, please
drop me a line. So back to the new inv-L, if it stops raining and bring on the
next 160m season? - Topband DXCC in 2009 perhaps !
73? Peter G4PUQ
PS I'm still trying to obtain a 160m QSL from PY7ZY, I've tried the QRZ.com
address a couple of times and e-mail..but no luck - any ideas ?
