Calm yourself Mike. It happened. I can see why not to post weak unusual signals. Ever heard of spotlight propagation.

No explanation. Only posted it in case someone wanted to listen on that freq tonight. Listened many times it was very readable, and it was a Vy zero. Did not call him. Having some transmitter prob, Q3 in the K3 is shorted. trying to get a signal out is a chore. Looking for a Temp cure.. 73 Bruce ------------------------------------ From: "Mike Smith VE9AA" To: topband@contesting.com Cc: Sent: Tuesday December 17 2019 4:18:50PM Subject: Re: Topband: Propagation (VY0) Bruce, Callsign? did you work him? There are no RBN Skimmer hits nor any DX cluster spots when searched on DXscape. nor any VY0 mentioned on the ON4KST chat page w/I the last 2 days. Tnx Mike VE9AA There was a VY0 calling CQ on 1826.5 last evening. Looked it up as an afterthought and its very far north in Canada. Unfortunately he did not get any callers. If someone has a 1930's Amateur Radio Call Book they would like to donate, or sell please email me directly. 73 Bruce-K1FZ Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB _________________ Searchable Archives: [1]http://www.contesting.com/_topband [2] - Topband Reflector Links: ------ [1] http://www.contesting.com/_topband [2] http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
