Topbanders are the greatest! I received notes from George, W8UVZ, Jon, AA1K, and Steve, K8WK, all with good information on H7DX' Topband activities. Steve went further, reaching Hans late in the afternoon Wednesday on 17m and asking him to come up around 0200 UT Thursday. That did it. Hans showed up a few minutes after the hour and contact was made. Thanks, guys! Ted N4XX
