TopBand: condx improve

[Dan Kovatch]

Could not make myself stay up for EU sunrise on topband so crashed after 
hearing only pj5aa. Got up with the doggie and checked for JA and lo and 
behold at about 1200 (58 minutes before sunrise) I hr what  might be a 
drift beacon but it's sending QSX-but weakly. Soon K8MFO notes on packet 
he is hring JA window action. In fifteen minutes the window seem teeming 
with ja. Managed to wrk JA4LXY (wins huge signal award) JA3ONB and JH1RES 
also hrd but didn't  wrk ja1jrk.
Maybe hope for the BY and the CQWW160 test next weekend!!!

Now, if my amp was only a little bigger and the transmit antenna was only 
20 feet higher! (next yr!)
