First - thanks to everyone for looking out for us and trying to work us on
Topband. We had a great time trying to hear and work you and I hope you had
fun chasing us.
I know we did not work all w

Subject: Topband: Lack of QSO's
You guys in the US and elsewhere don't
You guys in the US and elsewhere don't realize that not everyone has the space
as you do, nor the power levels. Besides who wants to work ft8 or indeed
machine CW?
Who wants to stay up late or get up early to catch the tide? Not everyone wants
59 Tu QSO, even on topband and most people detest c
V84SAA was loud here again this morning, saw them go to FT-8 and needed
V8 on digi, they replied after a couple calls, they peaked at -5 for
an hour and a half
from around 1600Z to 1730Z.
They have been loud here of course on 160/80/40 etc. great operators
to hear
me during the EU pile up
Bob,
I was operating 20 meters and when the band closed I checked 160. This was
around 0200z. The European's were very loud. Some were S9. Worked about 20 in
10 minutes on a CQ. Lots of russia and east Europe. Band went dead after 30

This morning about 1 hour before SR, V84SAA
had huge signals on both 160 and 80, working
the contest. They were like the JA beacon
stations JA3YBK/JH4UYB, which were also in
fine form this morning as usual.

200 Hz above and though several sent QSY
to him, he insisted on staying put &
finally it became a debacle and I turned
off the rad
Exactly! "So nice to hear you again today (insert WC top 10 most wanted here),
I think you're even stronger today than when we talked last week."

ps. I did work V84SAA on both 80 and 160 this morning in the contest...but...I
waited until after my SR so prop for the east was over.
Greetings All,
Spotty openings to Europe from the SW with one surprise contact LZ2WO
just before sunset. Otherwise 1 G4, and a few EA stations. Also Q5 at
Sunset was IK2CLB with no QSO.
After 0300 no further EU DX worked. The band went downhill rapidly. Off
to bed. In the morning only a few
