Topband: NH8S or KH8S

[mike at n1ta.com]

NH8S is the call sign for this one. You may see KH8/S listed as the
prefix here from some sources but note that KH8/S does not necessarily
mean the call is KH8S. I've seen a few cluster spots already for KH8S --
these are simply bad spots.

N8S was the last DXpedition to Swains in 2007.

The confusion is that KH8-S is the prefix designator reserved for 
Swains, and will show up in logging software like DXKeeper as the 
prefix. As I recall, an earlier operation (2007?) used KH8S, and that 
operation is in my log confirmed on 160M.

BTW -- I worked them last night on the fifth call with 5 watts from near

San Francisco. I guess the new 160M array is working!
