TopBand: More 4S7EA plus OX3SA Topband

[Graham Mercer]

Reflectees ..

Ref: 4S7EA ... This is the 3rd consecutive evening that Ernest has been
heard here from Colombo ... His sigs have been pretty consistent here,
averaging S7 between 2030z & 2215z ... It seems that he's caught the topband
bug! ... He hears well ( he must do to QSO this li'l pistol at last! ) ...
Only drawback seems to be his preference to listen on his own frequency ...
There's always been an abundance of EU calling him, so have no further
details of his station/ant etc. or his operating times on 160m. His sigs are
every bit as good as the XZ1N operation, at least to this QTH!

Ref: OX3SA ... Sven was back on 160m tonight for the 2nd consecutive evening
as heard here, OXs seem thin on the ground on 160m here! .. Sven was heard
here between about 2130z and 2240z both evenings ( around 1832-1835Khz on
14th/15th Dec., with FB sigs here too )

KL7XX, Dan was also a good sig here at 2317z on 1830Khz, but didn't call you
Dan 'cos C6AIE  came up just a fraction higher - Sri Dan, at least you  made
it to Mike/G3SED's dummy load  instead!... (Sri Mike - cud'nae resist that
one!)

DX seems to be just flooding into this QTH this week on 160 fm all corners!
QRN levels down to lowest levels for 2 years here this past 96 hours ...
long may it continue! ..

Happy Christmas all ...

de Graham/GM4BES+
