Topband: JA's here this morning ! (my first)

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Well, was off work here today, so got to play radio.

Was very stoked to hear my first ever JA's on 160m !!

Tried calling JQ2VVH and later JA7NI with 1kW and low loaded sloper but no 
QSO's.
Even in the clear, never got so much as a QRZ, so I think I still have one 
heck of a RX antenna - hi.

Incidentally, FWIW, JA7NI peaked 559 @ 10z or so and copied him very well at 
least 20 mins after my sunrise in FN66
Most of the time, they were 519........quiet band today.

Cheers,
