Chile on 10m WSPR

Just exchanged WSPR reports with XQ6FOD in Chile at 12285km on 10m this evening at 2054z. At first I thought this was a bogus report but checking on QRZ.com the call is genuine. I think this was Es linking into some TEP F2 propagation as I was getting good reports from Spain.

Working REAL 10m DX at last!!

After calling for 15 mins I eventually worked LU1HF on 28.010MHz CW this evening by F2 or TEP. He had been calling CQ for over 15 minutes without getting a reply and then he heard my 10W to the wire halo and gave me 599. OK it was a contest exchange, so probably much weaker. I think my antenna must have quite a low angle take-off as working this station, against the rest of the world's competition, shows.This is my best 10m DX for some time at 11077kms. So who needs sunspots (the count was zero today).

A few minutes later I worked ZW5B in Brazil who got my callsign but he then lost me.

At 2138z I worked UU7J in the WPX contest.
