I’ve been a bit under the weather, plus my inverted-L had blown down in a recent storm, so I haven’t had much on-air activity. My friend Willy W1LY came over a couple of days ago and got the antenna back in the air. I finally made it to the shack in the basement this afternoon, and started hunting for VP6D, Ducie Island, an all-time new one (ATNO) for me.
I was lucky enough to work them on 17, 15, 12, and 10 meter CW, as the signals from VK land are just booming in this afternoon. The operators on Ducie are amazingly skilled too. But the team use of DXA is simply fantastic, and allows one to confirm things right away.
