Well I had an aural report from VE1ZZ and he certainly copied MM0ALM on CW
in fact they might have had a CW qso but it is so long ago it is now
history,  another  stn that copied us was NC1K and a AA1 something, I might
have it recorded in an old paper log somewhere.
This is years ago and I do not keep records of something that became
routine.
I did not know that ZZ was SK. Over the years I worked him on numerous
occassions on 160 metres early evening still daylight here at times. .
and for a while he was testing on 500 Khz. I had a report from him on that
band, I must check if I logged the acty (it is not necessary to keep a log
book in the UK)
Around at the time was VE1ZZ, NC1K a AA1 stn VE1JG I think and others that
called me xband on 7033 whose calls I do not remember but have gone from the
scene some years back maybe before you got going. I think Warren you have
missed the fun and frontier days !!

Mal,
      On MM0ALM's QRZ.COM page there is a reference to a 1650 ft tower
and PSK 31 transmissions on 136kHz.

There is also a link to a QRSS capture received by VE1ZZ - (and not a
very good capture, that signal would not have been audible by a long
shot! ):

http://www.wireless.org.uk/newspic40.htm

VE1ZZ has gone sk so I don't know who else could verify these stories.
