Topband: JA's this morning on 160

[Tim Shoppa]

On Sunday afternoon I worked 40M JA's on RTTY an hour before my
sundown.Astonishing to me!

Herb, I was up early Monday morning and heard you working the JA's (but of
course could not hear the JA's)!

Monday I did work a foundation-series VK licensees on 40M CW Monday
morning. Brand new calls to me!!!

Tuesday morning I called CQ and worked JA's on 80M CW. I know that's
nothing for you guys, but stupendously great 80M conditions for me!

tThis morning before going out to push snow off the driveway, called CQ on
80 and worked some JA's
