The OnLine Log is now updated through 0700Z 29/03/09. This should help keep down dupe QSOs a bit.

These guys have been as elusive as a chicken with lips for me. On the occasion I CAN hear them, they are there for 10-15-20 minutes, then Gone with the Wind. Mellish has been just as bad. Looks like these two will not go in the log, at least not this time around. Maybe next time.

I finally managed to add them on 20m and 15m. They must have really good recievers and antennas, it sure ain't my antennas doing the work. I think I heard them on 80m ssb yesterday morning. I have heard them the last two afternoons, around 2200 on 17m, but I was in my pickup and didn't get through. I haven't heard a peep of the Mellish guys yet.

Mellish was 10 over for an hour or two here at my QTH in S.C. this afternoon. However, I continue to miss em. Drat! I just cant seem to get the timing and/or freq right. I had no trouble with VK9LA. I still contend that there is a bit of luck involved besides our skills.... I think they will be there another week or so, and I will just keep on keeping on. Hi Hi. Gene

According to their online log page, VK9LA went QRT on April 2nd, around 9am their time (around 2300z April 1st). All 8 of my Q's showed up as OK, including one I really wasn't 100% sure of, thanks to a lid tuning on the DX frequency. They have a PayPal page and a QSO form you e-mail back to them for online QSL requests, so hopefully I'll have 4 new Challenge points on the way, plus two new modes. Thanks to all involved for an absolutely great operation!
