[NLRS] Heads Up - 6M DXers

[Mike King - KM0T]

Hi all, got luckey and worked Reunion Island yesterday (Sat 2-23-02) at 1559
UTC.  He was in for about 3 minutes, I think he was in before I got to him,
because I had just turned the radio on.  I believe I heard someone in EN34
work him as well.

I got the heads up from the prop logger on Friday, the guys in DM79 worked
him at 1650 UTC.  So I decided to try the next day.

My tower was all the way down, the 6M ant was only at 30 feet.  I also heard
Z21FO (i think thats the call) in Zimbabwe, he was 5x2 at one time, then QSB
out.  W7XU worked him when he was strongest here, I dont think he heard me.
Stations faded at 1623.

Got to love emails like this below I got from Yvon.  I sent him an email to
see if he had any special QSL requierments.
