Topband: CW160

[Tim Shoppa]

I felt conditions were "OK" to various parts of Europe throughout the
night. Yes, things would seem good to one location or another for a few
minutes, then just evaporate.

That station from Haiti 4V1TL had huge huge signal probably louder than any
Florida guy I heard.

A "new band greenie for me" on 160M was ER4A.

CW5W had a nice signal but had a hard time hearing - never got further than
"N3?" with me - and he was often near or under "other DX" (including 4V1TL
who had a kc cop who was trying to stop me from working CW5W).
