Topband: Thank you for your patience !

[VY2MGY]

Good Morning all:

I don't know who "you" are but I must take the time to thank "you" and
hope that you are on the reflector and will read this.  This morning at
0935z I was calling CQDX on 1834 (tks Mike for the pep talk) and could
make out no more than the odd dit and dah every time I signed.  From 0935z
to 0955z (my sunrise) this station would send his/her call every time I asked
- What dedication!  20 minutes trying to copy an S1 sig with S7 to S9 QRN
crashes and QSB seemed like forever to me as I am sure the sending station
felt as well.  Although I was looking for DX (especially ZL3REX as we had
a broken QSO about a month ago and I still need ZL) after 5 minutes of
trying to work this mystery station I decided that whether he/she was the
#1 wanted station on TopBand or a QRP station in the U.S.A. I wanted to
complete this QSO.  Unfortunately that wasn't to be.  So if you are reading
this thanks for your effort and I will be on tomorrow at the same time and
place looking for you.

I love this band and the challenge it represents!

73 es DX one and all
