Topband: OTHR kills VK9CG

[Steve Ireland]

G'day

Bad news from Cocos Keeling Island.  Charlie is on his 5th 160m receiving 
antenna configuration and NOTHING has helped to cut down the  S9+ 'dragon's 
breath'.   The OTHR has been on every night this week and he has not only 
pulled out all his hair but the beard is looking pretty sparse too.

As a result, Charlie says he is going to be mainly on 80/40/30 CW and RTTY, 
where the effect of the awful monster is less pronounced.   However, he 
will continue to listen on 160 and if the beast is away, then he will play 
- and if he can hear any 160m signals through it, he as sure as heck will 
call them.
