Fantastic! *Nice work! *Didja talk to him/her? CW or phone?


Worked him phone at 1357UT. He was running 200 watts to a SteppIr
vertical out at the water. It was after dark there and operator John
was amazed at how good propagation was to US.

SE Asia is usually pretty decent for us statesiders that time of day,
though...it's the only time when I am reasonably assured of hearing
the little Indonesians and PNG stations, plus Laos, while the sun is
above the horizon. It's the 14 MHz that gets me though - maybe better
for you at that time, but still early for us west coasters. In any
case, nice work!
