Phenomenal antipodes worked again!


Great stuff! Another FB QSO with ZL9HR this time on 20mCW! The whole team have been given permission to stay overnight on the island so they were active on the bands. Fair enough signal spotted here on 30m all day long. No so strong on my dipole but workable must say. At about 17:00 local time here found them on 20mCW with MASSIVE signal from their location. I did not expect hear them whatsoever tonight (last night almost no signals) but they show-up like nice surprise. First of all I pointed my antenna via L/P and then via S/P just to see how is like. To be honest better signal had via S/P (200km less) it means signal went through Asia and Australia this time and then I had to figure out how and where DX is listening and here we go! EI9KC 599 on the other side of the Globe!


Campbell Island's antipode (the point on the Earth's surface diametrically opposite to its location) is not far off the south-west coast of Ireland!
