Topband: To JT or not to JT

[Art Roberts]

This sounds like a question that will always be around. To me the great 
thing about all of this is the increase in activity on a band that does 
have some rough times with propagation. I know that for myself, using 
the JT modes along with my very inefficient antenna and 'low' power, has 
certainly helped me work many stations on a great band. It also has 
encouraged me to improve my station for 160.
