Topband: Daylight QSO

[Bert Barry]

Today (Jan4/08) I worked between 18:00 and 18:20 UTC the following three 
stations:

N1BUG  Maine.  Bearing 90 degrees, distance 553 km,  599 both ways.
K1LT      Ohio     Bearing 224 degrees, distance 825 km.  599 both ways
VE3CUI  ON      Bearing 233 degrees, distance 250 km.   599 both ways, 
with occasional deep QSB

No other stations heard in response to CQs.  Both Tx antenna array and 
Beverages showed very directional properties in spite of short paths.

My station is located just west of Ottawa, ON, at 45 deg, 21 min North, 
76 deg, 2 min West
I will try again at the same time in coming days to see if greater 
distance (south or south-west) can be worked.

Bert,  VE3QAA
