VP6DX on 160 Elecraft Mojo

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

Worked VP6DX this morning on 160...

I was running my K2/100 (about 90 watts to the tuner
due to some foldback issues) thru the KAT100 into a
55' piece o' wire with a few radials, none any longer
than 40'. It was a solid no repeat QSO.

Those folks have good ears and they were a solid copy
without a Rx antenna on the K2.

Don't be afraid to try them, even if you think your
antennas are lacking.

Worked them on 12M CW as well, been ages since I even
heard anyone on 12!

GL to all in ARRL DX this weekend. It's looking like a
Low Band show.

73,
Julius

Congratulations, Julius!   That pretty much parallels my own experience.  I got them on 160M CW with my K2/100 into a top-loaded sloper.  When they came back to me, I was not 100% sure whether they sent "CFM" or "QRM."  Fortunately, it was the former, and I showed up in their online log.  :-)
