Topband: K1N 5000q's on 160

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

I just had a short chat with Jerry on 40 meters and he reported they 
logged over 5,000 contacts on 160 meters.  This is nothing short of 
awesome and significantly helped somewhat by gaining access to the 
lighthouse as a support for their low band dipoles on TX.  But without a 
doubt the devotion by this group to topband should not go unrewarded. 
Even if you did not need Navassa on 160 their efforts on TB stand as an 
excellent example of how import the inclusion of specialized operators 
and equipment are.

On a related note, PQ0T will be on from Trindade (rare on 160) but have 
no plans to operate on Top Band.  The may however, if the emails keep 
coming into them showing the demand, may try to load something up on 160 
for at least one of the three nights they are there.
