Amateur Radio Operator V85DX (Brunei)

Amateur Radio Operator V85DX (Salleh) in Bebiri, Brunei Darussalam was logged on 12 May 2013. His transmission was monitored from 18.10 to 18.37 UTC. He conversed with amateur radio operators in Romania, Russia, Italy, Canary Islands, Denmark, Germany and elsewhere. They were all received in Malaysia in various degrees of strength.  He identified himself several times as "Salleh... V85DX... V85 Data X-ray...in Brunei. Shortly after  18.30 UTC,  he mentioned it was "2.30 am in Brunei" and he would take only "five more" calls. Reception on 14.215 kHz SSB/USB was (SINPO) 55455 -- excellent signal strength.
