A lot harder on HF though isn't it?

Of course it's harder on HF, but given I don't yet own any HF gear, except
the 27MHz CB, I can only make contacts using 2/70cm amateur band. Without
IRLP I would have only made contacts woth VK3, VK7 and maybe VK5, with IRLP
I've worked VE, ZL, K, JA, YI, and I look forward to working them on HF in
the future.

Of course, making a DX Contact on CB 35 LSB would be harder than making an
IRLP contact, but as IRLP is the only method I have of accessing hams
outside VK on the air, then I will use it.

Or I could try making contacts with hams via HF, using CB..wonder how many
hams I'll find there?
