Topband: One way propogation or QRM?

[Fred]

FWIW: Pacific, Far East, and SE Asia were very weak but generally readable here
in N. Cal. on 1/27 most of the evening (0000Z - about 0800Z), and still weak but
clearly "there" when I woke up for the last 3.5 hrs of the contest.  QRM was not
a major problem ... just pretty weak.  I managed only two JAs and 2 KH6's with
my 100W and sloping V antenna.  All in all, condx seemed pretty good this year
... until 1500Z on Sun AM when the BC stations in the Sacramento Valley went QRO
at sunrise!
