TopBand: 16OM WAS de 4X4NJ

Fri, 3 Jan 97 12:23:39 PST

After Oregon QSOs (N6TR/7 and W7GG) on December 28, have finally completed 
Topband WAS.  First, my thanks to K1ZM and N7JW for helping arrange skeds, 
and with everyone who cooperated by standing by - especially during the 
extremely rare W7 openings. This was extremely difficult since  the path 
from 4X to W7 goes through the auroral oval region for everything West of an 
imaginary line from Minnesota through Texas! From 4X4, topband WAS is even 
more difficult than 40 zone WAZ (since January 1994).  Would like to know of 
other 160M WAS done from similarily difficult QTHs (perhaps from Eastern 
Europe - not sure, or elsewhere in Asia).  Will be concentrating my activity 
now to the evening Pacific openings, since don't have to look for the W7s at 
sunrise.  CU all on T H E   band (there is only ONE band that qualifies as 
such).  73,

Riki, 4X4NJ
