[Elecraft] Mojo not working here :(

[Keith Bainbridge]

Sorry to say but after many days trying I could not work VP6DX from home 
using my K3 , 100 watts and either my 5 band spiderbeam or my HF9V.
I had to go to the club shack ( VK6ANC ) to work them on 20 and 80 mtrs 
ssb with " 400 watts"
All this talk of how easy it was on qrp is amazing as everyone here in 
Western Australia has complained how weak they were and how hard it was 
to hear then, let alone get through.
Looking at their logs for VK6 it seems very few of us got them on more 
than 2 bands and some on only one. It reinforces the fact we have known 
for many years here, the lower part of Zone 29 is one of the hardest 
places to get signals into the south pacific and South America.
I had worked virtually all of South America  from G land before I 
emigrated in 1987 ... on 10 mtrs FM, so far in 20 + years in Western 
Australia I've worked a total of 4 South American countries on any band 
!! And Brazil was on AO-40 !!
You guys enjoy the mojo I will have to wait a few more years yet I think :(
