[Elecraft] K2 Mojo in ZL Land

Greetings

Being a recent returnee after 40yrs away and with only 40 CW qsos logged I
tend to stay up/down? On 80, although here in ZL-land the bottom end has
plenty of space available.  On the 14th after staying up latter than usual I
'just had to' tune the band before hitting the pit.

So it was that at 1100Z (Midnight LT) on 3503 I tune across K9DX calling CQ
with no takers.  I dive in not expecting a reply and was greeted with a
'ZL?' and after a few fills (not helped by my miss-sending the number in my
call sign in my excitement...more fills) I received a 459 for 15watts into a
5 band vertical on a steel roof with 4 radials.

This has to be the K2 Mojo I have heard so often on this reflector (plus
gray line in Illinois).   This is my first qso ever with the States.
What a great band to do it on!

Did a Happy Dance and went to bed contented.

73s,  Nigel ZL2DF
