Topband: VP8STI 2016-01-23

[Steve Sacco NN4X]

VP8STI was workable - and working - 160M -  into the US/NA 2016-01-23 
around 05:00 Z.

For the first time w/ VP8STI, my K9AY loops actually could detect them - 
I heard them approximately equally well in the SW and SE directions, but 
I was also copying them on my vertical.  I was also able to listen to 
them on my NE Beverage, which probably goes to show that, sometimes, 
it's about removing QRN as much as anything.

They went into my log at 15:02Z; as it was late, I didn't stick around 
much after that to see how long we had prop.

Now to work them on 10M.

73,
