Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 190, Issue 26

[Steve Sacco NN4X]

Concur WRT VP6D on Top Band last evening!

They were putting in a very FB signal into Florida at 03:00Z, and I was 
able to work them without too much effort with 200 watts.

73,

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.
