I agree with John.  I'm 3000+ miles away and they were running EU stuff I 
couldn't even hear on my shared apex.

The VP6D ops were really terrific last night.  Listened to them for two hours.  
They cleaned the table to EU.


Worked them from P40W with 100w and 55 foot tall vertical dipole.  A definite 
thrill!


RX was better on NE beverage here too as someone else mentioned ... perhaps 
because that is the direction with with least noise or perhaps my 800' beverage 
doesn't have much front to back.  They peaked as high as an honest S-9 on my 
K3S at times but averaged S-7 for long periods.  Whatever they've managed to 
put up for a TX antenna is very effective - I know they've been fighting wind 
and rain.


Love Top Band!
