Herb. . .I got on this morning after you had gone QRT.  I did CQ but no JAs 
went into the log.  JH7PFD was on chat but said I was just detectable.  From 
here, it was another ISSIB day. . . most every day this season with the 
exception of two or three have been that way.

Subject: Topband: JA's this morning on 160
 George,  I worked nine of JA'a this morning on 160.  I could only hear 
them via SW skewed path over ZL/VK and they could only hear me via SE as 
well.  Nobody on the mainland including Jeff VY2ZM with his super setup 
heard a thing nor did they hear him nor anybody else from the East Coast.. 
Signals from some JA's were 569 and one JH4AAG was a true 579.  The first 
JA JA3ONB was worked at 0949Z and the last one was JA4LKB at 10:31Z.  I 
had some problems with one of my SW Reversible Beverages at times or I 
could have possibly worked more.  This has been repaired and I will try in 
the morning and see if the path repeats itself.  I hope you are lucky and 
this path to be open for you to JA from KP1.  Nothing here has ever 
compared to JA then this SW Skewed path were signals are so strong.  It is 
a short opening so be prepared for it.
I will keep you informed on how it plays over the next few days.
HNY
Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ
