Got a QSO with KL7XJ, from BP40 near Anchorage Alaska. Not bad, according to my calculator, that’s about 3250km. Also got regulars VA7VW, and heard KI6FYM calling CQ, but he apparently didn’t hear anyone responding. I’m not sure what his problem was: I don’t think it was just simply being off on Doppler. I think he must have been on a completely different downlink frequency.
That’s why having a full duplex rig is so useful: literally, if you can’t hear yourself, nobody else probably can either.
