Tropo DX on 2m SSB with DK5DQ (556km)

I heard DK5DQ in JO31QH running a big pile up during a recent tropo lift, this was recorded just after I worked him at 556km, I was very happy with this on 10w and a less than optimal antenna height.

Wow the audio quality with the Kenwood is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Sweet rig, and awesome exchange there.

Thanks! I love the Kenwood TR-751e for 2m work :)

Wow he had a crossmode QSO SSB/CW, crossmodes are fun and underused IMO!

[@M0JCQsSOTAChannel]

Yes, they're fairly common during VHF contests where SSB isn't cutting it. I worked him before this was shot and we managed 2xSSB, which is good because I don't know Morse!

I have got a TR 751e and a TR 851e and i wouldn't ever part with them 😊 They are the Rolls Royce of mobile vhf/uhf rigs. My personal best with my 751 with 50 watts and a 5 element j beam was dortmand from io93 Square 👍
