[Dave Bowker]

Greetings fellow Top Banders.  

Conditions were fantastic from northern Maine last night with many signals
steady at +10, +20, even +30 over.  Associated solar indicies reported by
NOAA/USAF for time period observed were:  10CM = 097 and AFR/AP = 002/002.

very few signals remaining to be heard.  Here is a short summary of some of
