Uh-huh... I recall an incident years ago when a real Sharp individual
(I won't mention his name :-) down in Florida ostensibly heard
Tristan da Cunha on 3290 kHz, running 40 watts, over a total daylight
path.

He sent the station a report and somehow they QSL'd it... after that
the individual was pretty much ostracized, at least in the hobby
press.

It's pretty much impossible to accomplish the impossible.

Well I have heard Australia on 6020 MHz early mornings when it was
daylight at my location and Australia is half way round the world. No
mission is to tough for Telamon!
