Nice signal here Andrew in Clare tonight you were even 5/9 on my old ground mount werner wolf vertical on 20m.
i was going to call you back and let you know but the EU stations were building up .
i surprised Guy N7UN who was on 17m this morning on a summit it was about 4.30 in the morning here . He was the strongest signal i have ever worked from a USA summit. He was using 10w and a end fed .
keep up the good work Andrew .

Yes, it was quite a surprise! Because of qsb, I initiaaly heard K5…but when you came back as VK5CZ I was quite surprised. Your signal was good copy despite the rapid qsb.
Have you or other VKs worked any USA activations before? Don’t know if we were the first VK to a USA activation?
That’s great Peter, thanks. Must start listening, although North Carolina is probably in a low probability area. I see my buddy Guy NS0TA (N7UN) logged a VK QSO on a recent summit. I’m sure that’s a QSL card he’ll cherish.

Ok here’s hoping for a contact - I will only be able to run 5W this time unfortuantely, so it may be a little hard depending upon conditions and QRM.
I personally haven’t but I believe some early morning (Australian time) activations from VK may have. I’m only hearing EU/UK & VK on my (Australian) evening activations so far.

Hi Ed,
hope to see you and more vk cahsers later on the summit antenna test is done today on dm/bw-195 ( it works )…i´m at home, antenna not going to bed now, have to go out early later ;-)… maybe we can try 40m sometime, worked today ZL2PB Steve at around 1700utc with great signal in ssb. but maybe a bad time for vk activations…
so hope 20m is in good shape later…
