Topband: Might be a good EU DX night

[Grant Saviers]

I saw 8+ stations all calling VP8EME MANY times.  So he was widely heard 
and here (Seattle) about -13.  I only saw a couple of Q's completed, so 
you were not alone. I had worked him before and remember it wasn't that 
difficult, but obviously he was having hearing problems tonight.  It is 
summer there, mid 50's. I was there Jan 2017 and had a great visit with 
Bob VP8LP and his wife Janet VP8AIB, who is also active.
