Andy Cory is another great DX catch - and kindly
agreed to try the email dating game. It worked first time.
As well as avoiding the usual pile up
shenanigans, we managed a proper conversation and would have
gone on but band conditions were still not great following a
week of solar flares.
17m might have been a better choice - but we got the job done....
And now
Swaziland also on FT8.... 05JAN18 21.0176206MHz
I was waiting ready to pounce, and we made it in
one.
This is such a better way to work DX - and make
100W go a long way - literally.
... band conditions were not great, but we
had no real problems making first contact..
