While tidying up the Shack in preparation for CQ WW next weekend, I recorded TX3A on 160m.

Yesterday morning I heard XR0Y faintly on 160 meters.
Signals from the Center of the World being heard on Top of the World….
Several attempts at raising the station were unsuccessful and I believe they will now have left Easter Island.
Nevertheless, this is some of the greatest DX to ever have been heard in TF.

Last evening – the 13th of November was interesting. VK6GX called me and we managed a QSO although signals were weak. Phil´s signals did not come in on the JA Beverage (14°) as VK signals usually do, but I could hear him on the EU Beverage (100°).
This gave me the push I needed to finish two extra Beverage antennas today – 0° (due North) (VK0M, VK9L) and 60° (VK6).

This morning the Aurora Index is at 7 out of 10 but even so, I was greeted by KH2L in Guam, who came out of the noise for a few seconds with quite good signals, to disappear again.

I am confident, that I will work KH2L as soon as conditions improve again. Exciting stuff.
Today I sent my application for 160M DXCC to the ARRL.
This will be the first 160M DXCC in Iceland.
Band conditions are still poor and the band is quite noisy, but even so I made a few QSOs to JA this afternoon.
