My geography of the south of England is poor... he told me his QTH was "nr Worthing" but I didn't think this would be so far away! Peter was unable to give an IARU locator last night but a quick visit to QRZ.COM and www.nearby.org.uk gives me a rought estimate of IO90ST QRB/QTE software gives the distance as 1052km / 644 miles Previously my best DX was with Tom G3OLB at 1039km in August. This new QSO with Peter 'LDO pushes me about as far as I can go until someone in Cornwall appears on the band! Anyone know of suitable GU/GJ stations they can persuade to tool up for 500? Cheers, John
