Russia booming through this morning. 5 9 20+ and got a reply of him (UA3ZDC) 5 9. Took a look at his qrz page and what antenna set up it looks. NASA comes to mind. 73,s.

Nice one Stu.
Such big-gun stations do help us out with our small signals but not something we can all aspire to. I'd need to win the lottery first, not just to afford big beast antennas but also the small Hebridean island to get away from my mid-terrace, parish council, village life aversions to such fun!

Out of the blue I had a QRZ confirmation for my contact with PY5QW in Brazil.
That's SA lit up now so I'm off to chase this elusive OC!!
