ZL on 6m from Pacific North West

There it is, logged Bob ZL1RS on 6m at a distance of 7000 mi / 11,000 km, even better when it's your home country and someone you know!

For the last couple of weeks there have been openings across the Pacific on 6m, none reached as far north as the Seattle area.

Bob was the only ZL I decoded here with my 3 element LFA, I did see some locals work ZL1AKW.

Bob has a pretty sweet 6m setup, 8 element DG7YBN Yagi at 65 ft / 20 mH and 1 kW in a good location, strongest decode was +14 dB over about 2 hours, we agreed that this was F2 propagation.

This brings my 6m DXCC count to 13 countries.
