I've only gotten around to posting these now, but believe me, I'm QSLing them! I went DXing on Sunday, didn't get a whole lot on many of the shortwave bands, tried 10 meters on a whim and... holy cow! I was hoping for anything, maybe Canadians, but what I got... well. :)
28203, PY2WFG - Ipiranga, Sao Paolo, Brazil beacon, 2118-2128. VVV de PY2WFG BCN, then grid square information - GG77FF. Long dash between transmissions, then repeat. Signal fair at best, contending with fading. SINPO 32233, RST 339.
28190, PU2NJO - Embarre Santos, Sao Paolo, Brazil beacon, 2129-2136. Transmission ran CQ CQ CQ test beacon PW2NJO QRZ, repeated. Signal heard roughly once every minute, with a long pause in between. Signal fair to good, SINPO 43344, RST 439.
That was, to put it the way a friend did when I shared the logs with her, a heck of an opening! I checked again later, and nothing. I'm still blown away by these. The first of the two catches took a long time to pull out of the static, but was it ever worth it! The second just sort of sprang up on me! :D
