Topband: Boring Morning Report

[Tree]

Was playing poker last night - so no Europe for me.

That is - unless I can snag someone in the morning.  Set the alarm for 
about 6 AM (one hour before sunrise) - get on 1831.5 and call CQ and
instantly answerd by UT3UA.  After about 7 minutes - I have a pileup
and have to go split!!!  This feels like I am in HC8 or something.

Put 27 calls in the log - 3 of them from Asia.  Worked UT, UA3, SP, 
ES, SM, YL, OH, LA and UA9/0.  This is exactly the kind of openings I
remember from 11 years ago.  

Just hoping this will happen during one of the upcoming contests!!!

I understand from K7TJR that the opening started around 1300Z - so I will
try to get up earlier tomorrow.

PS: I saw W7LR active on the Topband chat page this AM - so he is back 
home and must be doing okay.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bob!
