Topband: TI9/3Z9DX

[K2RS]

Thanks for doing that Bruce. You helped me log a new one on 160.

I worked them at 0348Z on Feb. 22, under extremely poor conditions. Most 
of the difficulty was on my end. With man-made noise to deal with and no 
receive antennas, hearing TI9/3Z9DX was touch and go. The op at their 
end did a superb job of copying my 100 watts and making the QSO. My 
thanks to whoever it was on the island who put me in the log.

73,
