It was great to get a EQSL card tonight from Haruhiko (JJ0TJS) in Japan. Propagation late this afternoon on 15m was fading in and out, one minute it was 599 and the next it was below the noise floor but Haruhiko and I manged at 2 x QRP contact (initially). I was hoping to stay at 5 watts but in the end I had to bump my power up to 25 watts as he kept going fading out and I felt I would be doing the same on his end.
Anyway, thanks for the QSO Haruhiko.
Hopefully next time we can both go down to 3 watts or less.|
All the best and 73's
