TopBand: IG9/IV3TAN et all

[Robert A. Kile]

Congratulations to IG9 on new world record. Seems as though at least a 
few die-hard record setters spend as much time studying propagation and 
location as most do satisfying their egos. 10-15 db is easily to 
achieve by being at the right place at the right time. (Best summary "HF 
Antennas for all locations", by Les Moxon) Try a 6db better signal level 
at 1998 during most evenings.

As for band plan forget it. There are a couple hundred countries and 
substantial majority of operators who prefer it the way it is.
