I’ll be set up after work on Mt Eden ZL1/AK-023. This should be a favourable time for grey line contacts, so please keep an ear out for me. I will try 20m SSB and CW so watch for the mangled CW and callsign 
Cheers,

Please be patient and check also 14-cw repeatedly, condx may change quickly.
Thanks!
Will switch back and forth between 3.5-cw and 14-cw at this time.
BTW, no reason to worry about lacking practice in cw, just do it as you can!

I’ll be listenening for you on 20m SSB - Long path has been good between 0500 and 0600 UTC recently VK-EU so I guess 0430-0530 for ZL-EU ? 14.310 or there about is where most stations have been getting through.

I will try to be on summit in time to work you.

I may have to cancel as a customer has decided that is the “best” time to meet, I will update the alert tomorrow if it doesn’t come off.
Ok I’ll check before trying to rush out the door at 4.
Any updates Andrew?
I seem to be waking up at ‘stupid o’clock’ most days recently 
So if I do, I could be up for a 0.01% chance of an SSB s2s

Well the earliest I could be there is 0630, sunset at 0634, and the gates close for exit at 0700, so it is highly unlikely unfortunately 
This customer always cancels meetings at the last minute, of course, but that means whatever I do will be opportunistic now.
Ah, no problem, Customers can be like that…
I’ll have a lie in then

I should get a chance after lunch on my way to the airport today around 0200. Still looking for DX and S2S but I am not at an ideal time. Maybe NA?
Closer to 0330 at this point.
Or a tad later.
Pleased you did make it. You were well in the noise on 20 m and initially the same on 15 m but we got a good 5 minutes of propagation so an easy QSO in the end. I know you easily made the quota on VK’s and possibly also on ZL’s.
Stations from EU were coming through on 20 m but only a couple. 20 m ZL beacon was also good. Conditions clearly variable.
I hope the flight back was comfortable and you had a celebratory beer.

Sitting in the lounge now 
Got 6 in the log before I realised I had to move. Did try 14 cw but not picked up by RBN
Hi Andrew,
Did listen for you when you spotted at around 04:30 UTC but “imagined” I heard something on 14.315, but so weak, I could not hear you. Heard Ron (I think) calling you but even he was weak. I guess it was a tad too early for long path, but thanks for giving it a try anyway.

Hi Andrew, good you finally made it up Mt Eden before leaving. Sorry I was busy when I called on 15 SSB and I didn’t stick around to follow to CW or I would have put a spot out for you and maybe got some QSO’s going.

Hi Ed,
I did drop my callsign on the frequency a couple of times - I could hear no-one there at the time. So the path was there to VK3 (just) from DL but not enough for 25 w to a dipole to make it from ZL.
