Topband: LONG PATH DX YESTERDAY

[Bill and Liz McHugh]

While many were hearing XU7ACY via long path yesterday morning, I heard stations to the west and south working JAs which I could not hear.  I'd be interested in knowing if they too were worked via long path or direct.

I listened both ways and while XU7 had a very copyable signal here, there was no sign of those JAs, 9M2 or DU1.  Sadly, no QSO!

I found my Beverages and K9AY loop not very good on the long path but had decent copy on the phased verticals working against the horizontal loop.

XU7 was very poor copy this AM....hope conditions get better....like many I need that one!
