Thanks for the QSO yesterday Cormac (and anyone else in my log),

Topband was weak here in SM, not many DX logged in SP. Longest distances were RC0F in the East (7183 km) and FM5CD in the West (8062 km). A few UA9 and A65BP also made it into the log. I head KV4FZ, KK3AN and K1LT in my sunset, but none of them got my call, I guess it was noisy in their end.

I used an 18 meter top loaded vertical with two elevated radials, 1 kW and was listening on my two pennants facing N/E and N/W. 

73 de Björn,
