I'm a late night person so sunrise is unlikely for me but the band has been very quiet late evening/early morning of late, apart from the S9++ static from summer storms. CQs on JT9/65 have only registered at most two or three eu stations on the RB sites but no replies. 80m has been quite good but few new DX stations to work! VK/ZL coming through grey line, and Namibia/ZS most evenings. > > 73, W5XZ, Dan _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - > http://www.contesting.com/_topband > > -- Brian D G3VGZ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
