[OKDXA] VP6DX on 160m!

[John Geiger]

Hi Wade,

I do all of my DXing barefoot, and just have a wire
for 30, 40, 80 and 160.  I have worked them on all of
those bands and on both CW and SSB on 80. Still trying
for SSB on 40 (and also on 10m, have them on CW
there).  This DXpedition rivels the D68C/3B9C/3B7C
group for putting out a signal and for hearing.  It is
probably even more impressive that they are doing it
at a sunspot minimum but then the path to Ducie is
easier from here than the Indian Ocean is.
