On the afternoon of 28. October around 1700 UTC I heard ZL3IX on Top Band.
This is the first time in history that a station from New Zealand is heard in Iceland on 160 meters.
I called him a couple of times and it seems that he was alerted to my presence and he called a few times QRZ TF but did not hear me and then he disappeared.
This was incredibly exciting and raises hopes that a contact may be possible in the future.
I recorded the event:
