Granted that most of the Topband activity is in our summer, Bob, but how
come I can hear Eu, US, and Canada, at the SAME TIME as I cannot hear Carib.
I know that the latter are on at the same time from the Webcluster.

Also granted that the Carib DXpeditions may sometimes be running less ERP,
but surely this is not ALWAYS the case?
