Topband: JA's

[N1BUG]

Oh boy... this morning had to be one of the best W1 to JA 
openings ever, and I still couldn't work one!  It is very 
rare to have any usable propagation to JA.  This morning 
JA7NI was coming up nicely until QRM got him.  In 
desperation I tried self-spotting on the DXCluster and 
called CQ JA on 1811.5 for a while, but no takers.  Just 
after my SR I heard JA5DQH working stations on 1810.4.  He 
was 569 but going down fast.  I called several times but 
was beat out by larger stations or those with more 
favorable propagation.

This makes two mornings in a row with good propagation to 
JA.  I know it's not likely to hang on 3 days in a row, but 
I will be on again tomorrow morning looking hard for a JA 
QSO.  I have QRM problems 1813 to 1820 and sometimes 
higher, so I will probably try CQ below 1813 again if 
conditions are good.
