Hi Cam,

This morning at about 7AM, I worked 2 VK stations (10PM their time I think)
on 20m phone. Stations were VK2GJC Greg, and VK3OZY Grant (great call sign
right!). Anyway, I’m still running 100W with a tuned random wire. By about
8AM propagation had changed and they were gone.

If you check their call signs on QRZ.com their banner will say if they’re
on the air and what frequency.  Cool. They were in the Advanced/Extra band
portion this morning so that’s perhaps why I got them. Not much competition
down there. They’re looking for N. America stations and like to chat a bit
about their station and your own. Very fun to talk to those guys!

Anyway, If you’re looking for VK3 stations give them a call sometime. Also
worked a JH1 station but I was marginally readable.

If you think the club might be interested, feel free to pass this along.

73, Rick
