Topband: TB season

[Jon Zaimes AA1K]

Bill,

I've worked JA's in April and August. Europe and the Mideast can be 
worked all summer long, as well as VK/ZL and much of the southern 
hemisphere -- where it's their winter. So the "season" can be what you 
make of it.

Keep working on the Inverted L -- it should be a better antenna for DX 
most of the time.
