With the bands being good but not great this morning and
with 25 watts and a 43 Ft vertical antenna I contacted
VK6 (western Austraila),JA (Japan), and YB (Indonesia) in
a time period of about 15 minutes. I was using a digital
mode called FT8. Either one of these countries are not rare
but between 6000 to 11000 miles from Versailles, Indiana.
Very good for only 25 watts of power from my transmitter.
Isn't Amateur (ham) radio a fun hobby ?
