TopBand: Last night in southern Africa

[Chris R. Burger]

The whole night, static was S9 + 20 dB (even on the Beverage) here, 
due to widespread thunderstorms.  Neither ZS6EZ nor ZS8IR had any 
success.

Conditions sounded pretty reasonable--I could hear lots of loud 
signals (S9), but none were copiable.  Stations away from the storms 
would probably have had lots of fun.

I expect Chris will be on at sunrise again, using 1821 and listening 
1 up, or possibly a few kHz down.
