Topband: Propagation on 160

[David Olean]

Hello Ashraf,

I am afraid that NA activity has gone down to almost no activity at all! 
It is also true that signals have been weak when there at all. Don't 
touch your beverage. It is working fine!  Raising wire from 1 to 2 
meters will not change much.  All my beverages are at 2 meters.
