Topband: 160 Conditions

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

  Yes, last night (~0500Z) conditions were about as good as I've heard 
them here this season.  As many have commented, conditions on 80 and 
160M have been unusually poor this season.  But 80M seemed to have 
awakened a week or so ago and 160M now seems to be following suit.

73, Joe

In under an hour at 0500Z, 30 US stations and 17 states worked. Jim N7JW (UT) was knocking the calibrated S meter of my K3 up to 20 over and Randy W6OAR (CA) was over the 9 when we worked.
