Topband: Working Europe

[Jorge Diez CX6VM]

Hi!

Summer stew was very funny

Not low noise as I expected but much better than December-January for me :-)

Don't have the log here, but worked about 50 starions, only one European (DL), 4 or 5 JA and the rest from USA and VE with 5 low power station on the log

Listened 4O3A and 7Z1 they where in AA contest but they didn't copy me

Nice idea, hope we continue to have a "summer" Stew!

73,
Jorge
