Topband: TX9 will QRT Wednesday

[Jon Zaimes AA1K]

The band also has been noisey here every day since. But this morning it started to quiet about 30 minutes before our sunrise, which was 1117z today. We had great hopes, but KH6ZM was the only signal heard but much weaker than Max has been the past few days, even through the QRN then. A few minutes after 11z TX9 announced on 40 meters that he was going to 160. The band by then was as quiet as it was last Saturday, but unfortunately the conditions did not repeat, and TX9 went back to 40 meters after just a few fruitless minutes. They tried again around 1145z -- well past our sunrise -- and again left after a few minutes without any QSOs, back to 40 CW.
