Topband: opening to JA & VK6

[Wolfgang Wessely]

Hi around,
last Monday (17th) between 20z-22:20z,  I had an 160m-opening to Japan 
(wkd JA1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 0), brought 20+ stations in the log. Sigs 
growed up to S8/9, most stations were around S5/6, some near the 
noise-level with fast QSB. Got last calls from there around 30 min after 
their sunrise.

Otherwise VK6HD called in at his sunrise 2029z - wkd him a few minutes 
later on 80, too.
BTW, YI9KT was weak, but workable.
And DU9/N0NM tried around 20:30z for a while, but no European came 
through over his high noise-level that time.

Was listening with a short (fast-built) beverage that evening, QTF 
~40deg, only around 80m long.
VU7 did not show up, I was waiting for...
 
Regards and GL on topband,
Wolfgang - DJ3TF
