[SEDXC] Finally N8S on 20 SSB

[David Thompson]

K3LP came up today as the op and just before 2000 the Long Path started
kicking in.  ON the beam and carolina you could tell as there was a hollow
sound.  He hit S7 and I worked then easily but VP8LP came up 1 khz below
them and caused some QRM.

No matter how much we tried to move the VP8 pile he stayed on QRMing much of
the lower East Coast.

He faded out about 2040Z and started getting louder on the Carolina.  Seems
W1 and W2 got the Lp opening earlier and longer than we did.  W6/7/ and 0
were all SP so could beam away from the QRM.

Now I will have to get up 0900Z to work them on 80.  Good test of the West
vertical dipole.

A lot of the USA guys were complaining that they stopped working USA to run
JA's while the band on 40 and 80/75 was open for us.  Congrats to K4DLI for
his 40 SSB contact!
