[OKDXA] [VHF] 6 meter DX yesterday

[David All]

I will second those remarksMy station is a Yaesu FT-897 with 4element fold
up beam at 15'.  A little background on my location is that  I live going
down into a small valley.  To the south is a large ridge.  All this taken
into account...

C6AQO FL22 worked and heard through out the day with some CW CQ calls at
times.
TI8II EJ79
J79PAK FK95

Only one time this year have I personally heard a European station that was
about a month ago and it was a station from Italy.  But I could not get
through the pile up.
