Good morning topbanders,

Propogation is superb. Last things first. No joy for me but he is still

off for 10 minutes while I make sure my boys are getting ready for school.

1520 His signal a whisper, no real copy. One hour and 20 minutes into

is the Titanex antenna is doing an outstanding job. Too bad that
the reception conditions are so horrendous for them.
Again, good luck to all. Let's hope they get one evening of
reprieve from the QRN. 73 de Milt, N5IA. Who said this is an
"OBSESSION"
