Re: [HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick, Week ending 29 October 2011
Al,
Yes, indeed, mine has been in my gallery:
http://www.w4uvh.net/tahiti.jpg
QSL reports are interesting but ``there`s something missing``, i.e. details of the original reception, especially time? How did you manage to get Tahiti in Afghanistan, with all the higher-power Asian stations on 738??
We think of Tahiti being way, way, distant, but it`s axually much closer to PA (about 10 megameters) than to Kandahar (10 kilomiles). It`s about the same distance in the other direxion from Tahiti to western/northern Europe as it is to Afghanistan.
