[SADXA] More Info on VK0EK

[Jim W]

Thanks for the clarification, Bill.  I just got on their logging site 
and see that at the moment they're on 40 digital and 30 CW. It's slow, 
at only about 3 QSOs per minute for both stations.  I can hear the 
pileup and the spots place them on 10.116.0.  But they're so weak that I 
need ESP to copy their signal, which unfortunately I don't have.  Even 
if I did, they'd need ESP as well to pull out my signal from the noise 
level.

It looks like their first QTH is the one with a mountain between them 
and us.  Anybody know for sure if that's the case?
