[NLRS] 10 GHz Rain Scatter Tuesday nite ?

[W0ZQ@aol.com]

What a hoot Barry !   I could not believe how loud you were, your 50 watts 
sure helps !!!!.   I was real worried that you may not hear my 1 watt.   My 
subgrid was EN34is .... to EN19lu it appears to be 393.7 miles or about 635 
kilometers if my math is right.

I was running 1 watt into a 22" dish.   The main bearing to you is 335 
degrees and I observed a heading very very close to this .... perhaps closer to 340 
degrees.   Your signal was 59A.   Contact time was 7/29/03 at 6:50 PM local 
and I heard you for the next 30 minutes or so on each of your CQ sequences, then 
less after that until you fades out.   

Here are the top three 10 GHz rain scatter contacts from <A HREF="http://www.remote.arrl.org/qst/worldabove/dxrecords.html">

Looks like we may have bagged a second place rain scatter DX record Barry.
