Good morning, 

Thanks to all that have responded to the email below. 

I have been in contact with Josep EA6SA. The information on QRZ.com is 
incorrect. 

His correct grid locator is JM19lo, this results in a 22 km reduction to the 
distance claimed previously. The correct distance is 7,766 km. 

Good luck with pushing the envelope. 

73, Pierre ZS6BB
