It was great to get a 2nd contact from Phillip (VK8MC) up in Darwin, only this time I used only 1 watt.
Being that we're both members of the SKCC club and propagation was good, I thought it would be a great opportunity to lower my power down to 1 watt. Problem was .. he gave me a 559 ! In hindsight and in reality, I could have gone down to 1/2 watt or even less!
Remember, you can't crank down the power after you've made contact. That's cheating. Oh well.. I'll just have to wait until next time 😀

Next time Phillip !
Still... at 1 watt, that works out to 1089 MPW, enabling me to get yet another 1000 MPW award.

Darwin is just outside the inner RED 1 watt circle West-North west of my QTH.
