Hi all,
Even if I'm not very active during the week time, I got 2 nice QSO's today in the log.
1st one was this morning on 40m (05:20z) with Chris, TL0A. I already got him on 20/17/15m (new one on 17/15m). So this QSO brought me a new one also on 40m, tnnx Chris.
After coming back from the office, at around 17:30z, I saw VY0A spotted, calling EU. I turned the beam to the NW, but he was very weak, too weak...Coming back 10min after, he was peaking up to 5/6, incredible (thanks to the sunset at 17:38z here, HI !). The guy answered me in French, at my first call (he must come from Quebec), and I was very happy to log NA-186...
After some research, it appeared that this is the MOST WANTED IOTA in North America, and that it has been activated very briefly............16 years ago !!!!!
Wouaouh, even more difficult than VK9L ??? HI !!!
