I had the privilege of working Sri Lanka for the first time on 20m FT8! I was using the yagi, but FT8 impresses me in the fact that I was able to work 4S7AVR at 9,300+ miles away with only 50watts of power. Sadly, Noel has not yet confirmed this contact via QRZ or LoTW.
Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia, located in the Indian Ocean to the southwest of the Bay of Bengal and to the southeast of the Arabian Sea. It is separated from the Indian subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait.
