Soapbox comments:

Hi, everybody topbanders!
Yes, Stew Perry '98 has already finished. But how many
peoples would like to get good condition that weekend.
The Saturday's weather, here in St.Petersburg, North Russia,
wasn't good(low atmospere pressure, raining, temp +2 C), but
it was the same as one year ago in the last weekend of 1997 year.
So I thought Got and Mr. Murphy presented us same propogation as SP'97.
Yes the air noise was low, but really condition was very bad.
The best QSO was JH4UYB - 15 points. Also worked K2TOP and NB1B(both 14 p.).
Heard K1VW but he didn't respons me. The strongest station from NA was K2TOP
(I had three contacts only - K2TOP, NB1B and VE1ZZ). Nothing from others US
calls area
 was even heard. Others DX were 4X4NJ, 5B4ADA, EK6GC, UA9AT.
The activity from Europe was little bit more than last year, but really SPDC
doesn't so
popular here as in the USA. I don't know why. May be bad condition made the
work last
month.
As for me in this season I did work only five N.Americans so far - W1ZC,
N0TB, K2TOP, NB1B
and VE1ZZ(last three in SPDC'98 of course). Yes I can't work every night in
the air, I don't
have special RX antennas, but I quite active on the TopBand. And my opinion
that the
propogation to Asia from Eu not too bad now(last two month). What is happen
with condition
to NA I dont know.
Happy New Year to all of You! I wish You to make Your radiodreams real in
1999!
73 from St.Petersburg! Vladimir, RV1CC
