LF: Historic two-way QSO completed overnight

[John Langridge <kb5njd@gmail.com>]

Roger, VK4YB, successfully completed a two-way JT9 QSO with Steve, VE7SL after a few previous attempts.  This QSO is believed to be the longest two-way QSO ever completed under amateur service rules on 630-meters (11802 km).

Steve will be posting details to his blog in the coming days, which can be found at ve7sl.blogspot.ca .  Details and screen captures are available now in today's daily report, posted at http://njdtechnologies.net/091516/ .

Congrats to Steve and Roger.  This is monumental event in medium wave amateur radio history.

73!

PS: When searching 472khz.org, the entities list seemed incomplete as Australia was not included in the dropdown list.  I would like to ask Steve or Roger to login and claim this QSO but want to ensure that the option is available before asking one of them to do so.  Thanks for any info!
