Topband: S04R no waiting

[sabrams at nycap.rr.com]

Tried working the S04R at around 0200 last night but all he seemed to be working was Europe, and my amp wasn't working so I didn't waste my time.  I looked at the sunrise/sunset graphics and noted that at around 0600 Europe was in daylight and S04R was still dark.  Got up at 0600 and heard him calling CQ with few takers.  I worked him with 200 watts, no waiting.  GL  73 Saul  K2XA  Albany, NY
