ABOUT 53 STATIONS IN ALL I THINK.
If you could pass this along to the topband reflector - that would be
great.
Where was WB9Z last night? Jerry would have been in the log for sure had
been on.
Also I did not hear W0CD or K8GG - nor K8MFO. I know Don at least needs
A6
and should have been there.
I hope we have another chance to do it one more time tonight. I will
come
up about 2300z tomorrow. Pse note that last night, the 0000z opening
for 30
mins was LOUDER than sunrise - then it closed for about 45 mins around
0100z
- and then reopened again about 0210z until 0239z when it closed at
dawn.
Prior days:
22 Nov w4zv
23 Nov
W4ZV
N4JJ
W4MYA
K3RR
W4DR (solid 579 at 0239z)
Also worked so far VK6HD, KH6AT and KH6CC - the latter two long path -
over
Europe.
Guess that's the lot.
It is now 0314z and after sunrise - I am pooped - but it was quite a
night.
BTW, all the beverages are now up:
USA - twin side by side 580 footers - fed in phase
JA - 880 footer single wire
VK/ZL - 580 footer single wire
S. Africa - 580 footer single wire
Still have not heard ZS5K yet - I am hoping to work him also.
BTW, the 80M long path opening at sunset yesterday to the West coast was
superb - N7ML was BOOMING on SSB - I will check 160M LP tonight at my
sunset
as well.
Pse advise the West coast to keep an ear posted - these guys were
coming in
over Europe last night at sunset on 80M BTW. We will see what 160m
produces
on that path tonight.
