Long Path Mobile DX to Tasmania


As I made my way to work this morning I came across a strong signal coming in on 20m via the long path from Tasmania. It was infact VK7AC - Norm with a 5/9 signal in the clear. I gave Norm a shout and was recieved back in Tasmania with signal report of 5/7. Not a bad way to start the working day!

What a beautiful location.

I've only ever heard Tasmania once and that was last summer on my newly erected half size G5RV over 20m and in the very early hours of the morning at my QTH in Leicester, UK.

I'm yet to actually work Tasmania, Australia etc. They're on my list.
