Topband: S9SS

[Bill Tippett]

        Many of us worked Charles KY4P as S92SS several years 
ago.  He's an engineer with VOA, recently returned to Sao Tome 
and now is once again active as S9SS on Topband.  Read 
Charles's story here...

...and you'll understand why S9LA completely gave up on 160 
and why it takes a dedicated Topbander like Charles to hear 
through the nearby 600 kW VOA station on 1530 kHz, not to 
mention a full-time 20 kW station on 945 kHz and the usual
Equatorial QRN!  Were it not for Charles, most of us would 
still need S9 on Topband.  Thanks for your persistence and 
low-band know-how Charles!  Maybe he'll go to 3C0, 9M0, 9U5, 
and other needed spots in the Equatorial zone next.
