Topband: FT5XO on 160m in Europe 21 mar

[john devoldere]

Hi Topbanders:

Whereas FT5XO was very marginal on march 20st  (audible but seldom "readable"), they were Q 5 for a long time on the 21st, peaking around 20:30 z in W. Europe. The signal was then between 6 and 9 dB over the noise floor on a 1100 ft long Beverage with about 300 Hz selectivity on my Ten Tec Orion. Later that night they were even on ssb!

I was happy to make my # 298 on 160.
