This morning was the best I have ever heard xz1n on 160. They peaked to
around s6 to s7 at 1425 utc, about half hour before our sunrise. I have a two
element array for VK and EU and their signal was quite a bit better in the VK
direction, compared with the single omni vertical. The operator kept asking
stations to keep sending so that he could pick out a call. I think that it is
better too to send about 20 wpm so that he can get a call on a peak. 73 Bob
