DX report 8th December 2018

driving yesterday, had the quad band FM (TH-9800) scanning it stopped on 29.640 MHz repeater, hear a couple fellows chatting, it was a a VK2 and a VK3 via the VK3RHF 10m rptr,  so first 10m E's opening I have had this summer, nice signals up and down a bit, but peaking at 60/9 that was around 12noon.
Later at night I went out and had  it scanning again, this time  stops on 146.750 Mhz rptrs, a couple fellows chatting, at first I thought it might have been Tamworth repeater, but as qso progressed they were talking about hearing ZL's on 2metres and then realised they were on the Bega 2m rptr, on the far south coast of NSW, this was whilst I driving to Forestville and the signal peaking at time around 20/9 so definitely some coastal ducting.
