160 m Ham Radio DX: K6AAX-VY2 Prince Edward Island received in Germany

[SanttuDX]

Great! I had a very big surpise last weekend when I heard Brasilian ham talking with ham from Argentina. I got even qsl-card from that guy from Argentina. Usually I have hard time to catch any calls from north or south america.

@SanttuDX Thanks! Listening on the ham bands always needs a bit of patience to get the precious ones. According to a radio amateurs' proverb, the careful listener is the champion.

@MARKGM20877 Thanks Mark... The VY2ZM antenna park could even make some broadcasting stations jealous... I also tried some Canadian MW stations that night but heard none. However, WGIT and Rebelde (no video of the latter because the camera battery died) came in on the X-Band, so stay tuned. ;-) Cheers Matthias

@amdxing Thanks Les... A quiet environment and a capable antenna made these signals possible. Cheers Matthias

@tvdxrools Thanks David... DXing in the fields makes the difference, it's fantastic without annoying man-made noise. I was quite surprised about the huge signal from Canada while even the standard TA MW stations like WBBR and WWZN were poor at best. Stay tuned! Cheers Matthias

@bocotawanta Thank you! I was quite happy to get such a strong signal on 160 m.
