TopBand: 160m Condx

[JRH]

This morning from about 1300-1430z the zero's and seven's were giving
T88II good signal reports so I sat patiently (well, almost) waiting
for the prop to pick up. K6ZZ, 120 miles SE of me heard and worked
9M2AX for number 90. Totally zero here. Finally snagged the T88 for
number 79. If I make it to 80 counters worked, I'll probably hang it
up until this cycle is on the down side. No use waiting for the band
to open to Europe because it won't happen.

 I've spent countless hours tuning 160 during the summer in hopes of
working into ZL and one night the Palos Verde Sun Dancers were not
beating their drumbs and I snagged a A35 & ZL all within five minutes.

 It appears that as the days go by, XZ1N sig is gone, condx to the Far
East appear non-existant too, at least from here.
