Topband: 4A4A on 160m CW

[Jeff Wilson]

Well I finally figured it out and sat waiting for 4A4A to come on at his sunset 
(0130-0200Z).  Waiting with baited breath with the split set 1.1 up and antennas 
tuned.  So they come on and so does the Jammer!  A S9 buzz saw right on his 
freq.  Must have been an East coast station as the only way I heard my call was 
using the 270 deg. Beverage. Sheesh!  Same thing happened on 1850 around 0400Z 
so didn't make on SSB.  Too many frustrated A-types out there....

But hey, the band was in great shape with EU coming in early and strong and 
OD5NJ putting in a big signal an hour before his sunrise.  Too bad I couldn't 
bust the pile up.  I hear he has strong local QRN that 100W won't pass.  Put 
Guam in the log also to reach 100 on 160 with 100w (76 since last August as 
VE3CV).  Now I can get some sleep again.
The snow is melting so the Beverages will be put away soon.
Cheers
