This morning I logged what is easily my most distant DX conact since obtaining HF privileges back in October. I had to repeat the last letter of my call and the exchange a few times, but I made the contact:
7.180 LSB - 0934 UTC - VK4KW - Tooloogawah, Australia
QRZ's map feature shows a distance of 9239 miles between my station and VK4KW. Not bad for 100W from a FT-897D through a G5RV.

About Me
- Mac McCormick III
- Savannah, Georgia, United States
- Even though I am a licensed ham, callsign KF4LMT, I consider myself more of a general radio hobbyist. Mostly, I monitor military, federal, and Fire/EMS communications. Outside of radio, I am a die-hard motorsports fan. In particular, I follow F1, sports car racing (ALMS especially), IRL, and NASCAR.
