Topband: Been off the air a bit

[Gary Smith]

I've had to miss much of 160 this year. 
I've had a problem with my leg since a MD 
applied a tight cast back in 72. It 
finally came full circle and I've had my 
right leg amputated 6" below the knee.

The bugger is my radio is in the basement 
and the stairs are a bit too steep for me 
to feel comfortable going down on crutches 
and the rig has been off for awhile now. 
I'll be going downstairs a bit now that I 
have my strength built up with the 
crutches but its too late for much 
activity this spring,

I'll be fitted with a temporary prosthesis 
sometime this summer and looking forward 
to getting back on 160 this coming fall.

73,

Gary

Re: Topband: Propagation

Hi Bruce

V P 8 A L J  beacon transmits with 30w and the antenna is a vertical but I
don't have more information about it. The frequency is 1804.8, I can hear
the beacon here in Florida 449 to 559 almost every night starting 01z. The
beacon has a long time between transitions.

Conditions is promising to be very good this DX season. N-S conditions
already good.

Propagation still peaking north-south. Worked Mario LU8DPM at 0156.  We are
very close to the same longitude of 70 Degrees.
Typical aurora conditions.
