UE6MAC/0!
Posted on August 22nd, 2008 by Hannah
Had my first DX contact. I was expecting to work North American maybe on 20M. Tuning around 80M when we set up was a bit dissapointing, only noise. Moving on to 40M we got swamped by AM Broadcasts. Tune tune tune. 7080kHz, a faint signal. Listened for a few rounds to make out the callsign. UE6MAC/0. Wow! Arctic DXpedition! No way they’ll be able to hear us on 100W and ice on the antenna. Not only were we able to work him, but we got 5×5! It doesn’t get more distant than that!
