Topband: 160m Season Has Begun Here

[Artek Manuals]

Sighhhh

One of the few things I miss about living in New England (don't miss it 
enough to own a snow shovel again), Is the 160/80 path to EU

My theory is LA/SM/OH and OJ0 all have a really "long" gray line. right now.

What time did you work OJ0O ?� I just finished my "prototype" N/S R-BOG 
today so am looking forward to losing some sleep 8^)

WE too have worked a couple of EU's and the 5T5 in the last week even 
down here in FL,� South America (LU/CE/CX/ YV and PY) are all nightly 
occurrences for the last few weeks
