We exchanged 449 on both sides, however, his signal went up and down in QRN and QSB so I lost some of his transmission. I copied his QTH locator wrong (but got it from the internet) but was able to copy his name and my report. He obviously could hear me better than I could hear him. I have checked the RSGB page for "firsts" and saw, that there had not been any GM/DL contact on 136 kHz so far. True? Even if not, at least Dave was my furthest contact with 952 km! The band is still full of surprises. Also finally managed to work OZ1KMR as a new one in my log today. Best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
