Signal reports of 5/3-0 with qsb were exchanged and later as I did not get his full qth, I emailed Kevin as I was interested in his opinion as to what type of propogation occurred, it was too far for ground wave.
Here is the email and the replies..

Hi Kevin, sorry, yes 2E0PCZ, located in Torquay, Devon, tell me do you think the contact was sporadic 'e', I would have thought so as I had qsb on your signal, but after reading your page, not so sure..?

Hi Kevin,Thanks for the brief qso a few minutes ago, it was very difficult to hear you and I never heard where your QTH is..Was you using the big yagi I have just read about ?I was using a 5/8 vertical, Kenwood TS-480, Heil GM5 mic and the 50 watts.73 and thanks,Paul.
