10 Meter Contact Confirmed


Well here is the proof !
I e-mailed Paul HS0ZIN yesterday and asked him to confirm the QSO on 10 meters
Frequency 28.495 mhz
Date 15/2/2010
Time 13:18 G.M.T
He returned an e-mail confirming the contact and also a photograph of himself Installing aerials at his QTH in Thailand. What a result !

73's Paul HS0ZIN
So with only 10 watts out of a Kenwood ts 570 D and a 2 element boomless quad mounted just 22ft above the ground I made a contact over 6,000 miles away at the bottom of the sun spot cycle ! That must give hope to all newly licensed out there who only have limited power to play with.
Thanks for the speedy reply Paul HS0Zin
73's and Good DX
