Congrats on doing it mobile, Robin. Mobile rigs can do a lot more
than we give them credit for. I've worked some DX through pileups on
30M, as well as some long path from NV to EU with 100W and a Ham
Stick. The low angle of a mobile vertical helps too.
FYI -- topband is OFTEN open in the morning to JA, and sometimes
with pretty good signals. One key requirement is a low enough noise
level to hear them.
