If it wasn't my family and job priorities this would never had happened.
Due to family and working obligations couldn't make it an all band=20
effort and decided to do Topband only (hoping to get some of the=20
three needed zones to complete 6 Band WAZ) and split daytime for family=20
and work commitments. It turned out to be an experience I'll never=20
forget: the new Topband world record!!! Missed my 1,000 QSO's goal but =
who=20
cares now (I would have made it if yet another one of freq stealers did
not force me to QSY just before the end, which resulted in MU/OH9MM and=20
OH9RJ S/P'ed multipliers).
89 NA stations made it into my log, with goodies like HC8N, PJ4B, 8P9Z,=20
9G5AA, 4M7X, VQ9IO, JT1JA calling me!=20
Whoever says Topband is dead during sunspot maxima is a layer!=20

73 and CU=20
