Subject: [Elecraft] Early morning DX

Congrats ! That confirms the old proverb :"DX belongs to those who wake up  
early".
Same thing here, on 40M, with ZL station (and another one the day after).
A lil' bit of tail-ending helps.
...and greyline (right time and season), as confirmed (if needed) by  
Geoclock or HFProp.
...and a DX cluster, I confess.
  K2 #4430 works fine !

Well, early for me at least.  The dog woke me up around 5:30 AM local
time.  Normally I don't get up for another couple of hours, but if I do
I go back to bed.  Well, knowing how things are going to be at work
today and needing to get a head start, I got up, showered and a chance
to play a bit of early morning radio.  Figured it would be a good time
to check out the bottom of 40m for some greyline.  Sure enough!  I heard
3D2NA (after several attempts to copy with very quick QSB and QRN).
Well, I used to do lots of DXing and am pretty up on prefixes, but I
didn't remember that one.  After working Nao I looked him up and found
he is currently operating from Mana Island in the Fiji Islands
(OC-121).  A quick calculations shows 7900 miles or about 1580
miles/Watt.  Hmm, maybe I'll wake up early again tomorrow and try even
lower power!
