As I was toddling off to bed I chanced by the shack and SV9BAI was pounding the brass at about 25 wpm. He was knocking them off simplex, so I figured I'd see if he could knock me off. The band was pretty unsettled with a lot of QSB and he was already into his daylight but I waited till he peaked and it happened to coincide with a QSO break so I got him in one call
Weak weak weak but in the logbook.
As you can see he more than an hour into daylight. After we signed he disappeared though I could hear other stations working him, so I got in at the nick of time. Crete civilization dates back to the 7th millennium BC. That's a long damn time ago! Stone tools have been found that date back 130,000 years thought to be used by pre-hominids. Amazing
