Very happy to have completed this one and hopefully will have a few more now that the first one is in the bag. I've setup my account on eQSL and also QRZ so hopefully Renzo can confirm the QSO on his side.

Success!!!!!!
A bit of trying and I have made my first contact with an overseas station as a licenced amateur. P29FR Renzo was a solid 5x7 on 28.490Mhz USB beaming in from Papua New Guinea. Spotted on VKlogger and tuning in I could hear Renzo fade in and out but with a solid signal in the main talking to some VK stations of which I could only make out VK4LOT. Unfortunately I could not hear any of the other stations speaking with P29FR so tried to time my call to minimize calling on top of other stations trying to work PNG. Luckily Renzo came back and in between some fade we managed to swap our signal reports and conclude the 2280 kilometre QSO. Not bad for 10watts up a relatively short vertical.
