Earlier this morning, I made a JT65 contact on 20 meters with VK3VT in Victoria, Australia. That is my most distant contact to date, 9,709 miles. I also saw one of the Antarctic stations (8J1RL) come in, but only briefly, and I wasn't in a position to make a contact.
People have been saying that 6 is wide open, too, with some crazy distances being reported. If they stay open tonight I may try calling CQ on 6 for awhile.
Nice to be back on the air.
