Spoke to Bob (K4UEE) tonite on top band operating FO0AAA.  Having a good
run from Clipperton with over 1100 Qs in their 160 M logs at this
point.  And 35 EU stns had made the top band logs as well with over 110
JAs.  Must be at least 1000 NA stns at this point.

Two more nites after this one, Bob mentioned.

Seems to began the evening on top band between 03 - 04 Z and still gg
strong thru out the nite on 1828.5 as advertised (QSX up)  Heard until
Michigan sunrise at 1215Z and beyond.

Hope ya all work em

PS  Bob did mention they had had a "Booby Bird" fly into the top of the
BC Special and dislocate the top loading wire (horizontal one to
complete the inverted L for 160) but that all was well at this point.  I
gather the collision even bent the top of the veritcal.
