Topband: 160 LAST NIGHT (4 JAN 06) HB0, etc.

[George (K8GG) & Marijke Guerin]

Fellow Topbanders,

HB0/DL2OBO was spotted early last night on 1823 and 1837.  Unfortunately I was not able to get to a radio until 0300.

I found HB0/DL2OBO on 80 CW with a 599 signal.  Around 0420 he went back to 160, about 1820.4 and worked some stations transcieve including K7CA, and then went split for a good half hour.  Tom was working better than a QSO a minute, despite EU and US QRM until after 0500.
HB0/DL2OBO should be QRV through sunrise on January 7th according to some of the DX newsletters.

Other stations with 579 to 599 signals included HB9ATA (looking for Idaho to finish WAS), S50A, YT0TESLA, HA5JI, SM5EDX, etc.

Good luck,    73,    George   K8GG
