Sorry I dont update the site very often, busy busy busy !!!

I have added my Msn & Skype address on the right hand side, if you need a sked please call me.

I am mostly on 10, 12 & 15 meters at the moment, so If you need Zone 29 give me a call. As the sunspot number starts to increase I will be looking for South America on these 3 bands.

Hope to contact you soon.

Worked FT5GA & FT5WO on the weekend, not new ones for me, but both are on the most wanted list.

On Monday about 13utc the bands opened!!! I worked almost 400 Europe stations in about 4 hours. The pileups never went below 5 and 9 !! So much noise. I was using the Club Call VK6ANC.. Listen to the YouTube Video… Here

VK9XB was active for 2 weeks in 1985 and I made almost 10,000 qso’s. Lance VK9XG (vk6du) was also active and made about 5,000 qso’s. We both entered the 1985 wpx contest under the vk9xb callsign and made over 4,000 qso’s as a multi op/single radio.

Condx seemed to be very bad on 40 meters and I only made 40 Qso’s. Anyway I sent in a log!
