Still CQing on 14.080 for any chasers.

I replied with your report 9 times when you first tried Allen, but I take it you werenāt RXing or decoding. Thanks for trying again; we made it in the end!
That wire is working well for you mate especially when Hawaii came straight back at you. No I could see you answering folks but I didnāt think Iād made it to you but thanks anyways got there in the end.

Get back to us if you manage to work any rare DX. Hawaii is the 267th most wanted DXCC out of 340. It is slightly rarer than Malta. Club Log: DXCC Most-Wanted List for January 2023

Statistically invalid observation as usual Richard. Just wait ātil M0HGY spots this nonsenseā¦

Hi, I just tried you on FT4 , 20m, but this is a protocol failure : my call is S5/PA3BHF, and you have a /P
We can work each other if , after the initial contact, we both take the suffix/prefix off. A bit fiddly but the only way - 73 Michael S5/PA3BHF (M0MPM)

Very innovative use of multiple polarisations there, Tom. Is the droop in the vertical a special design and what are the dimensions?

Itās not an exciting looking KHxxxx style call though. To my amazing callsign knowledge it doesnāt shout āmiddle of the Pacificā.
A great effort Tomā¦and great smile too.

Hi Tom, one question, on the picture it looks like youāre using an iPad. Which software do you use?
And I have never worked Hawaii from here, or from the UK, it is high on MY list !! Congrats!

Itās an Acer Windows 10 tablet. Running WSJT-X 2.1.0 with the WSJT-Z hack.
Thatās a slight downside. Reminds me of the time I worked a NL7 station from a SOTA and it was only some days later that I found out that Iād worked my first ever Alaskanā¦
When I worked a KL0 I was excited till I found it was a snowbird in Florida or such for the Winter.
Did you really work Hawaii dad as the callsign that I can see working you was K2GT which is a USA station. I thought all Hawaii stations had the prefix KH6 unless the Hawaii licence is same as USA licence meaning that someone can get there licence and callsign in the USA and use their USA callsign in Hawaii without using the Hawaii prefix!
