Topband: the problem is..

[vk3io]

Yes I agree, and the problem I also found was that even though the 
pacific Island dxpedition has Top Band ssb on their band plan, when I 
have asked the cw op to try an ssb qso, when their cw qso rate is close 
to zero, they usually reply "sorry, no microphone" or "sorry, others are 
sleeping".

And so I will probably never make DXCC on Top Band phone. Such is 
reality of life. :(
