Thailand and others....

[DXman]

Yesterday evening just close to dark here on the coast, Philippines was coming pretty strong around 6:00 Pacific time and while I was scanning the upper 11 meter band, I came across two guys talking. As it turned out I had just talked to the two of them and they were talking to a friend that I knew from Thailand. So I gave a quick call when they sighed off and low and behold, the guy in Thailand answered me back. Our signals were just a 3, but 100% copy.
So that made my day, Banana was his name and here is picture of him from 20 yrs ago when we first talked.

What frequency did you get the Philippines on?

Thanks for sharing. Guess I need to do more listening in the evenings. Might be tougher for me in the Midwest.

Good to talk to you yesterday DXman. Had a great signal into Illinois!

Thanks i will listen up. I haven't heard the Phillipines since the old days, like the 80's. I used to talk to japan, Phillipines, Indonesia, all over the pacific and Australia every day. I was in Hawaii though, alot easier.

Very nice @DXman I'm glad to hear that you made that connection especially the radio friend after years also.
