Topband: xz0a and WBBR

[Tom Rauch]

Two days now they have been in at sunset. Yesterday they were 
much louder and only southeast. Peak around 2340Z or so.

Today due east, gradually swinging to south east but not nearly as 
good as yesterday.

Also, this morning XZ0A peaked 569 southwest, much louder than 
at my sunset when he was east and south east. Not any signal 
until about 1200 Z (when I just see the horizon light up), the peak 
was at 1230 (when the sky is just being fully illuminated overhead). 
A normal sunrise peak.

WZRC (that rebroadcast WBBR on 1830) is now restored to proper 
limits thanks to a quick acting and firm talking FCC engineer. That 
has to be a record, notification of violation on Thursday and repair 
on Friday!!!  Special thanks to everyone who helped identify the real 
culprit! That was 160 meter kill number 8 in just over one year on 
160 meters.
