TopBand: Southern Africa Today

[Chris R. Burger]

ZS8IR had another great morning, followed by a total washout at 
ZS6EZ.  Amazing; we're only 2000 km apart.

Chris worked another 37 stations, bringing the total over 180 
stations.  New additions for today are marked with an asterisk.  He 
had to decline several QSOs that would have been duplicates.

I was working at my station last night (welding some frames), and 
just happened to tune across the band around 20:00 UTC.  I was amazed 
to find the lowest static level in many moons (S8), and some workable 
signals on the band.  I called CQ, and worked around 40 stations in 
half an hour.  The run produced two new countries for me (HB and GI). 
The band was pretty crowded, with ZS6UT, the V5, ZS4TX and ZS6EZ all 
calling CQ.  A45ZN was working JA, and did not listen on his 
frequency while I was listening.  I had to carry on with my work, and 
by the time I came back, he'd disappeared.  Would have been another 
new one...
