The MacAlba

I hadn’t listened on 6m for some months. I don’t have any antenna other than my HF vertical which tunes on 6m quite reasonably. I was a little surprised to find some beacons:

  FK8SIX on New Caledonia at 0254z
  VK4ABP at Longreach at 0510z
  VK4RTL at Townsville at 0516z

On SSB I heard John, VK4FNQ, in QSO with VK1VP in Canberra (I couldn’t hear the latter).
