Topband: VK6VZ CQ 160 wash-out

[Steve Ireland]

G'day

Hope you are all having fun in the CQ 160.

The magic band was a wash-out first night here.  Heard W8JI about 5 minutes
before sunset, but thought I'd wait until his signal got stronger - at
sunset his signal went into the noise and never heard Tom again...

A little later, K9DX was S2 and W0AH S3/4 for a few minutes, otherwise
nothing from NA.  Only bright spots were K1HP/KH0 and DU9/N0NM (Hi, Jon)
until a miniscule European opening in the fifteen minutes before sunrise

Think my current rate for the contest is about 0.5 contacts per hour...

Vy 73,

Steve, VK6VZ
