OK, I read too many books. Most of the QRP DX "experts" (there's that word
again) say, 'When trying to work a DXpedition, it's often easier to work
toward the end of the expedition, after all the KW big guns have worked him."
Hey, makes sense, right?
So I started on VK9ML on Thursday evening.
What they didn't say is, "The above advice is null and void if you have 2 Sun
Farts* in a row, bringing the A Index over 40 for 4 days!!"
*Sun Fart: Highly Technical term for a Coronal Mass Ejection. Actually
strictly speaking, incorrect, since the Coronal Mass WAS ejected, making it
technically a Sun Poop, not a Sun Fart. I'll leave that to the PHDs.
