Thanks Dave.

The crossband route seems to be the only option until we all get the band on this side of the pond. With the nearest VE's (other than VE7TIL) so far away, the pickings are pretty slim! It kind of reminds me of the old crossband work between the U.S. on 50MHz and the G's on 10m that I read about as a kid.

Well done Steve. Really good to see some QSOs going in the log.

Good luck with the other 49 (!)
