Definitely a breach of regulations and procedures....VE-"X" stations
are not permitted 2-way contact with the Amateur service, nor any
other service. Operation is strictly limited to Beacon operation only.

The first illegal ON-VX QSO.

Gary, All,
yesterday I could copy VX9MRC in QRSS3 with a surprising strong
signal as early as 18 UTC, when I launched Argo.
Throughout the evening the signal was strong and with little QSB
from 19-22UTC, after that the signal became weaker with much more QSB.
Probably because I had a sked with Joe at 22:40 UTC ;-) .
But despite all we managed to complete the QSO with both way M
report (would have been a solid O earlier the evening).
A first ON-VE QSO on 500kHz and with +/- 4075km a new DX record for me
Joe transmitted on 507.770 and I on 501.190.
Between 19 and 22 UTC the signal was audible most of the time and
would have been CW copy if it were not squeezed between the NDB "Z"
carrier at 507.980 (S9+ here) the SM6BHZ CW/SSB test transmissions
(up to S9) and a local birdie on 507.600.
For the QSO I was running 300W into my 11m high / 25m long lazy-L
antenna, estimated ERP about 1.5 Watt (at best, if the greenery does
not absorb too much)
The night from Sunday - Monday I left Argo running, VX9MRC produced
a good signal all through the night and faded out at 07UTC. This
would mean that there is a potential transatlantic path on 500kHz
for 13h a day !!!
