This is the first day we have had a solid signal from the
FW2EH in Michigan. They were a good 579 or better for quite
a while before local sunrise. I was a little surprised to
find the pile up in the JA window, but what the heck. With
my L network tuner preset it was easy to call about 1911 and
get through in a few calls.
Also, the operator was working much faster, knowing the
signals were easy copy, and sending at an appropriate code
speed. My hat is off to the operator and mother nature as
well.
This is the first significant 160 meter operation from
Wallace the locals can remember in over 16 years!
