サイクル２１の終盤となった１９８２年秋、ある日の夕方に６ｍと２ｍをワッチしていると144.1MHz付近で小刻みに震える歪んだＣＷが聞こえる。それはCQJAを打つVK4IRだった。すぐにコールして559/559でレポート交換。そのあとSSBに切換えて５５/５１でレポート交換。QTHはWeipaとのこと。こちらは出力10Ｗ、アンテナは水平偏波１０ｅｌｅ八木アンテナだった。VK4ZSHはその翌年１９８３年春に２m
TEP目的のペディションを行った。ＱＳＬはその時のもので、彼の2mビーコンを捉えたら6mに降りて連絡を取り、次に2mでレポート交換、そんなスタイルの正に通信実験であった。
It was the evening of the day autumn in 1982 which was in the final stage
of cycle 21. When I was watching 6m and 2m, I found a distorted CW signal
with strong flutter on 144.1MHz. It was VK4IR/Arthur calling CQJA. I called
immediately and exchanged a report 559/559. And changed to SSB just after
and the report was 55/51. QTH was announced to be Weipa. My rig was 10watts
and the antenna was 10 elements horizontally polarlized yagi. VK4ZSH/Steve
went on 2m expedition for TEP investigation in the spring of 1983. The
QSL is it. If I catch his 2m beacon, soon I go down to 6m to makes a contact,
and next go up to 2m again to exchange report, it was just a radio experiment.
