Santa Rosa Valley, CA
I first heard Melvin on 20m in December of 2016
at 15:31. He didn't hear me.
California at a solid 5/9 from the UK (and
Europe) is a rare
event in February, and only possible thanks to a minor solar
twitch that has created some ionosphere activity that also
surprised VOAcap.

I have tried long and hard to
reach AHmad over many months - Egypt is rare and the moment he
appears a tone of much closer Europeans pile in and make it
impossible. I was not set up to record this time (of course) so
the recording is one of the earlier sessions that illustrate the
challenge.
Hopefully we can now arrnage a
sched and have a proper QSO and talk about Ham radio in Egypt.
