I've been getting up to try for them but they've been showing up later than I expected, after sunrise and as things worked out, I kept missing them.
Heard them this morning and clearly, but they sounded like they went to KA1O & I'm KA1J. So I called again and QSB, couldn't hear a thing. Some helpful guy sent J which I think was a help to me but I can't log it unless I'm 100% sure I hear my call confirmed, so pass. I tried a few minutes later & I believe they came back again but AMTRAK nailed me with a passing High speed train right exactly as they came back, nothing to hear but arcing in the receiver for another 30 seconds, then less than a minute later another train went by and arcing again. I hate to keep calling and have them think I'm not capable of hearing them but one more try and this time no QSB & no AMTRAK & I made it. 3C0L last night and H40GC this morning, two ATNO on Top Band. I hate to go through the hassle of moving and I'm in a beautiful place, right on the ocean, but each Gray line comes right at the commuter rush hour and trains pass by every 5 minutes or so. Kills me with DX and costs me points in every contest with 160 & 80 in it. Connecticut's too expensive to live in anyway, especially right here in a Tourist Trap location, so I need to better my QTH... But for the moment, two new ones on TB in the log. :) 73, Gary KA1J _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
