It finally happened! I had a radio contact with Australia!

I was participating again with the PACC contest. While searching up and down the 20m band for points to score I heard VK2YI. It really was, unbelievable. His signal was just as strong as many of the European stations I was working for the contest. When I answered his CQ he could hear me, and even gave me a 57 report! My 59 report confirmed the contact from my side and made the QSO official.
