Scanning around and with nothing really happening on the CW side of things, I thought why not have some fun and go SSB. Going up to 10m, I heard Philippe (FK4QX) booming thru as a 59+ from New Caledonia.
Anyway, I decided to up the power to 30 watts for something different (I could have gone 100 watts) and he came back with a 55. After swinging his antenna towards me, we ended up chatting for about 15 minutes about the usual and then comparing our monsoon wet season (he's basically on the same latitude as me except 800nm to the east). Rain, Rain, Rain as we're getting.
Anyway, it was great to get a card from him also
Thanks Phillippe
