TopBand: S21XX via Long Path!

[Bill Tippett]

Wow!  First I see on OH2BUA that VE1ZZ logged him at 2204, then
I got a call from Jeff telling me that he worked him out of the
Northeast.  I start listening that direction and just begin to 
hear a trace of him.  Then I try Long Path (Southeast Beverage0
and he's much more readable.  3 or 4 calls and he comes back
and is now 569 at 2320 which is 30 minutes past my sunset.  I'm
copying him on my speaker as I write this at 2337.  

Attention anyone planning an expedition...throw away your Gap's,
Butternut's and Gladiator's...get a BIG vertical like these guys
are using (Titanex vertical about 55-60 feet tall).  BIG ANTENNAS
WORK ON 160!  Remember that.  :-)
