TopBand: April 10th great conditions

[MEL]

KJ9C central Indiana

Last night (0400 to 0445 Z on April 10) was great to the midwest. Looking 
at the packet cluster I was apprehensive, as there were no posts from the 
east coast (usually a sign of activity to Europe), so I figured the solar 
eruption had finally taken its toll....

But very strong signals were present from at least three stations, most 
for ten-twenty minutes, but IT9ZGY peaked at S9+20DB and stayed very 
strong for over a half hour. Easy contact. DF2PY stayed strong for about 
twenty-25 minutes but ONLY S9 on the TS-940's S meter and a ewe with preamp.

IT9INO peaked very high but faded fast, and DK7SU made his first 
appearance on 160 this year (that I know of) and peaked about S7 on meter here.

Also worked OK and SV, but not as strong

The season ain't dead yet!!!
