After working 10m for around 1/2 hour with no luck, I decided to come down to 15m and try it there. Scanning around, there wan't much activity around, but I decided to start out at QRPp levels and work up. You just don't know who may be scanning around as well.
Cranking up 500mW I called out "CQ" and Max (VK2ARZ) came straight back. We've spoken before, that was a while ago now. However, it was great to have a quick 500mW QSO with Max from Mortdale Heights, down in New South Wales, Australia.
Unfortunately at the time I had to cut it short as it was time to go to the beach for a nice cup of tea. All in all it was great to get talk with Max again. At 1/2 watt, that works out to 2172 MPW, enabling me to get my 10th 1000 MPW award.
Thanks Max and 73's mate
After the contact, it was time to fire up the firebox and boil the billy for a nice cup of tea. If the tide was a bit higher, I'd be flicking a lure chasing a Barramundi for dinner as well.
Oh well ... The cuppa was sweet as... hmmm
