Tree,
We are at a sunspot maximum? 10M sure as heck didn't get the memo.
There was a whole bunch more DX on 160 last nite than on 10 today! And that's
fine by me!

Subject: Topband: Not so Boring report
Hi all.
Until a few nights ago - I still hadn't worked any Europoeans this season.
That changed on Wednesday night when I got 4 Europeans in the log. I would
have had another one on Thursday night - but my TX antenna had developed a
water short in the control cable and was beaming south when I thought I was
TXing to the north. Missed RA4LW.
However, Vlad heard me on Friday morning when I figured out the problem and
called him using my E/W direction. This morning, I worked OH3XR about an
hour before sunrise. It's very unusual to work the morning opening during
a sunspot maximum - but we'll keep trying and see how it pans out over the
next couple of weeks.
