To Russia with Love........

[DXman]

This time it was across the Pacific into Khabarovask, which is just 30 miles from the China border.

I spoke with Boris today (302RA10), the last time we talked was about 8 years ago. He was coming in at 5/7.

See the Yellow circle............

Haven't quite made it that far yet.... No problem working Italy or Ireland though.

That is a good jump across the pond. Was this with 30W?

 

[DXman]

No on the 30 watts - I had to start cheating, it's now 85 watts!

 

[pro151]

Still a good trip. Also a blast that you got to talk to an "old" contact again after so many years.

 

[DXman]

What really surprise me was; he remembered my name as soon as I gave my call!

I also did a search on his city and found a nice video on youtube, it's a very nice city of modern Russian design.

 

[pro151]

Yeah, I looked it up on Google Earth.

 

[Klondike Mike]

Russia on 11 mtr.

Russia for me too! 302SD200, Slava. 00:30UTC. A little east of your contact Larry.

​

 

[DXman]

Hey Robin - that was a good contact for you! It probably surprised Slava too.

Slava is very happy now, he is running a 800 watt amp and having a ball talking DX.

I think by Jan. we should be hearing a few more of them guys.
