Topband: VP6D Monday Night @ P40W

[John Crovelli]

The VP6D ops were really terrific last night.  Listened to them for two hours.  They cleaned the table to EU.


Worked them from P40W with 100w and 55 foot tall vertical dipole.  A definite thrill!


RX was better on NE beverage here too as someone else mentioned ... perhaps because that is the direction with with least noise or perhaps my 800' beverage doesn't have much front to back.  They peaked as high as an honest S-9 on my K3S at times but averaged S-7 for long periods.  Whatever they've managed to put up for a TX antenna is very effective - I know they've been fighting wind and rain.


Love Top Band!
