TopBand: ZS8IR Dupe Sheet: 10 Feb

[Chris R. Burger]

Chris had his best opening yet this morning.  He worked something 
like 35 North Americans.  Now if only he could have heard the OX 
calling him (or if only I could have worked the OX!).

Looking at the list for the day, it looks like Chris could have 
checked into the W4 Pig Farmers' Net!

He is in high spirits about 160, after the ongoing antenna battles of 
the last few months.  I think he'll probably remain fairly active 
over the next few weeks.

This morning was amazing; while Chris had his best ever conditions at 
his sunrise, I had virtually nothing.  I could hear a UA6 calling CQ 
for about an hour, but almost nothing else on the band.  I called CQ 
for 75 minutes, and worked only a 7Q, W1 and G3.  The G3 was armchair 
copy, but not another European in sight.

Chris has now become aware of 9X4WW's situation.  To the guy that 
implied that there was some kind of a personal vendetta going on, I 
can only say:  You've obviously not operated Top Band from 
southern Africa in summer.  I can hear dozens of signals calling 
me, but only one or two, at best, might be copiable.  The static 
level is almost never below S9.  I'm 2000 km closer to Marc than 
Chris is, and I sometimes have trouble identifying Marc's signal.

Maybe the remark says more about the author than about the 
situation...
