And now KH6HI/B appearing... weak and occasionally audible...
Peaking at RST519 at 0338z, and lost by 0340z.
A nice bit of kit from ZS1NAZ...

E51WL/B just coming up now...


A little Es to ZL, with the ZL2WHO/B RST519 now

And at the same time Bob ZL1RS working Fred KH7Y on 50.110. No sign of Fred here..... yet!

Whilst nothing near record breaking, or even out-of-the-box, but I did manage a tropo contact on 144MHz yesterday afternoon with Steve VK2ZT at Medowie... a path of 608.6km.
Not bad considering I am still operating without either a linear and pre-amp on the bands 144MHz and up!

This has re-energized me.... I must get the 432MHz linear projects completed, and start to plan out the 144MHz solution.

VK5VF in via Es.... an interesting effect on the signal. Something wrong with it??
