  1. Gentlemen, I am very grateful for your tremendous work. First time contacting A52, and having a new DXCC in addition to 4 new bands with A52.

    My respects to you.

  2. It is a real pleasure to hear and work you. I have a dear friend with over 340 countries confirmed and he was thrilled when I told him I HEARD you, and then a little bit crushed when he heard I already WORKED A52P on 15. I directed him to 15 and 17 M, but you were then swamped by TT7XX who likely didn’t have a clue he was so close. MY k3 and tight filters did help, and of course your FANTASTIC signal for the given conditios. You will likely soon be working my friend Mark, N9MR even if he has to sew a new antenna into his trees. Good luck. GREAT operation and effort. KELLEY, nt9f.

  4. Propagation from the western US to Bhutan has been the pits, but I finally got lucky and got a digital ATNO. Thanks guys very much, your efforts are greatly appreciated by all of us!

  5. Many thanks for the ATNO, I had the luck of hearing you tonight on 15m SSB before you got spotted on the cluster. It was just sheer luck, many thanks again!

  6. Merci à vous pour cette expédition ou je n’avais le A5 que en bande basse.
