Topband: JA's this morning on 160

[David Raymond]

Herb. . .I got on this morning after you had gone QRT.  I did CQ but no JAs 
went into the log.  JH7PFD was on chat but said I was just detectable.  From 
here, it was another ISSIB day. . . most every day this season with the 
exception of two or three have been that way.
