VK9XHZ : QSO on 20m, ALL TIME NEW ONE !

As for many expeditions, I QSO this one the very last day, on 20m (the only exception was for Clipperton, TX5C, on 17m, HI ).

Yesterday was the very first day I heard them so well (peaking 5/5), but all EU stations were shouting a thim in the small +5 to +10KHz split frequencies...

I was listening to him and when he said "spread out up to +15KHz", I jumped there and called him.
He got me after 2 calls only (even if I was only using 100W into the Hexbeam), and we could even make the QSO in French !!!!!!

That is for sure an ALL TIME NEW ONE for me, and I'm already looking forward to checking this in the on-line log, and to receiving the QSL card, HI!!!

Once again, the HexBeam did it !!!!!!!!!!!!

One remark on tis expedition : There was voluntary QRM, maybe more than usually. Broadcast recording, whistling, etc etc, this is becoming more and more obvious that there are more and more "non-hams" on the air....
