A dear friend of mine, John WA1aBI, always told me that the best DX on 160 meters came on chilly winter nights at the bottom of the solar cycle. He certainly was right.
Today, shortly after midnight, I worked Hawaii on 160 meter FT8. It was just like a local contact. My thanks to Tetsuo AH7C for being on the air and for confirming so quickly. This happens to be state 49 in WAS and country 69 in DXCC on 160 meters. So the hunt continues for Alaska and 30 other countries!
Aloha Bob,
Thank you for the QSO today. For you guys HI should be one of the hard to work state. For us New England states are hard to work, too. I am happy to get you.
