TopBand: JA in Central Ohio

[SCOTT LONG]

On 12/8 I worked RA2FBC at 2232z, great signal! Never heard TF3DX, still 
need him for Zone 40.

On 12/9 the band was extremely quiet this morning and I was surprised at 
how loud the JA's were.  Most signals were consistently running 569 to 
579 (w/o any preamp). They were QRMing each other their were so many, 
never heard so many on 160 before!  Just using an Inv-L, no rx antennas.  
One JA was S-9+ with my ICE preamp.
