VK2BJ - Australia for DX Marathon

This was a nice surprise.  At 9417 miles away, he was surprisingly loud - peaking at S7 on my meter.  His name was Barry and liked to ragchew.  He was much stronger long path and that was the S7.   Long path distance was 15438 miles.   Double bonus in that he was also a new zone.  This was not too shabby for QRP.
