Topband: 160 mobile DX

[George Taft]

Oh no!  Pse not a "big time" 160 Meter /M on the east coast.  I get
depressed when KH6DX/M works something I can't hear on the west coast. 
Now to have AA1K/M on my eastern side is just too much.

Midwestern low banders will be dropping like flies over this recent
development!

Sad to be in the middle!
