Topband: Condx on TopBand Last Nite (1/6-7)

[W8FJ at aol.com]

The signal levels were not bad here (Philadelphia area), and the band was 
reasonably quiet, but propagation devinitely favored the W4,W5 regions.  The 
fellas in these areas were giving and receiving the big signal reports last night, 
and I was regularly beat out by them when calling stations in Europe (this is 
not usually the case).  I heard quite a few Eur to W0 and W7 QSOs as well.  
5T5SN was in for over 2 hours with an excellent signal giving out many QSOs. 

Several days ago the propagation from her to Europe was as good as it ever 
gets here with many S9+ signals.  Hopefully, the good propagation days will out 
number the bad ones for awhile now.

I do wish that 5Z4DZ who had an excellent signal on 80M last night will find 
his way to topband.

Happy New Year to all.
