Bill,
I'd be grateful if you could post the following to the top-band
reflector:
73 de Martin G3ZAY
Received from G3XTT on 9M0C (Spratly)
Mike, G3SED, and Don, G3XTT, have shared the 160m operating and covered
all of both nights (though they started after the 9M0 sunset on the
first night). 374 QSOs so far; Asia 213, EU 136 (inc. UK 7), NA15,
Oceania 10. Big problem is QRN. Using a Titanex 85 foot vertical at
present but will have the Battle Creek Special as well from today. They
ran out a Beverage last night (laying on the ground to avoid hazards to
the other island residents) but it did not help the QRN problem at all.
First night was quite good but last night the static was over S9. Best
time last night was the last 30 minutes before dawn when the noise
level dropped substantially. Unfortunately no North Americans were heard
at that time.
