- From ZS2GK,
Glenn in KF47kt :
Hi Phil,
Not sure if you received my SMS sent to you on Sunday evening about 07H30
UTC.
I heard your beacon very faintly with huge QSB was not able to make out the
full callsign. I contacted Dave ZS5DJ and asked him to listen but he heard
nothing. It was very faint and very intermittent. I stayed up quite late
hoping for an opening but there was nothing.
----------------------------------------------
I did not get the SMS from Glenn, so was not aware of any possible openning.
It would have been funny to try 70cms!
