Some (not all) NA topbanders awakened to fairly good Topband propagation
Tuesday morning with 4W6A. It seemed like spotlight propagation for the East
Coast. Some prominent topbanders with good receive capability heard nothing
while others had good enough signals for QSOs. It came down to bein

this causes me to have to locate the loops such that they are not at

I share the frustration over the very minimal amount of data out there.
