EA2BAJ-ZL1BPU
Recently I have had the opportunity to complete a MTHell QSO, that to
my knowledge is a DX record.
Take in mind that ZL and EA are at the opposite side of the earth.
It has been held between Murray ZL1BPU and me, EA2BAJ
The date: 19 September 1998. The hour about 0600z.
The freq: 14063.5 LSB
