HamChallenge #1: ZD8UW Ascension Island with 40W

I try to contact the Cambridge University Wireless Society operation from Ascension Island (ZD8UW) using just 40W, battery power and a mobile whip antenna.
More about the ZD8UW operation: http://www.g6uw.org/dxpeditions/zd8uw/
Thanks for watching, 73 de M0BLF.

Fantastic challenge Dom!

I have a sneaky suspicion he was a tad surprised when he eventually copied the callsign lol!

Hi James,

Yes, Martin G3ZAY (the operator there) knows the QTH here and it was actually his suggestion before they left that I drive up the hill. I don't think he expected me to make it, though.

73, Dominic.

Reminds me of when I was operating ZD8JA with basically the same rig. I was working PSK31 however.

Good job,
