Topband: 160 condx

Ne9Z and I thought the test was a fizzle but maybe we did better than we 
thought.
3 JA sat am (one measure were two recent pileups with 23 and 24 JA each in 
about half hour session). Two of the contest JA hrd me ok, the third 
struggled with my call..
No JA heard sunday morning. No w1,2,3 the first nite, but several w1 and w2 
second nite, and one w3. Lots of w4. Early in the evening KV4 FM V26 good 
signals but they couldnt hear me (1.5 kw and 90' vertical), but by 05z they 
got louder and could finally hear me.  The VP5 was loud and easy to work 
early in the evening.  KH6 very loud - things west often good (worked A61AJ 
lp recently and hrd them twice since). No VK ZL SA Europe nor Africa heard. 
271 qsos, 67 sections, 4 countries, 9 hours.
