I am sorry I didn't hear Peter calling me. I did manage to work OH3XR however
at 1450z. I understand SM5EDX was hearing me at that time, but I couldn't
pull John out of the noise. Using Skype for CW is not perfect -- as it is
designed for the human voice.
Looking forward to getting back home on Thursday and fixing my EU beverage
before the contest.
Yesterday, I was able to visit BU2AQ. Mr. Wu has a fantastic QTH. You can
see some pictures here:

Also - you can see BU2AI and BU2AO, who I have worked on Topband from Oregon.
Katie, BU2AO copies CW very well!! I was able to make N6TR transmit station
transmit "OOO" using my remote control and hear it at sunset here in BV. This
was very fun.
