There's a Ukranian Maritime Mobile station on FT8 2m if anyone fancies a challenge.

he's just on the cusp of my RX range even with the height here.

Thought I'd try 30m WSPR overnight and was not disappointed.

New Zealand and also into Alaska, power set at 5w. The chap in Alaska has had quite the life. a British ex-pat, former DTI officer and former Base Commander/comms for Sir Ran Fiennes unsupported expeditions thru the 80's. He has quite the story. I like to take the time to read people's QRZ profiles, there are some amazing people out there for sure! https://www.qrz.com/db/KL7L/

Not been able to play radio this evening so left it running 30m WSPR again. No Alaska yet but 30m has proven consistently amazing for 5w! Its a damn shame there's no Voice section on the band really!!
