Tasmania Long Path 22,642 km VK7DIK - Clansman PRC-320
Nice chat with Dick in Tasmania on the Clansman PRC-320 long path on 17 meters 18150 MHz. 29-Sep-2024 from the trig point one hour hike from my house. Using a 5.2 mtr Chinese telescopic whip retracted for max deflection and a 3-4 meter single counterpoise wire with 25 watts power output using a Racal telephone handset that has far superior audio than the standard handset. Was at a height of approx 248 meters above sea level with clear line of site long path

One of them sounded like an African station, but there was noting on the shortwave schedule to tell me what it was.
