Topband: Topband V84SAA and ARRL Contest

[K9FD]

V84SAA was loud here again this morning,  saw them go to FT-8 and needed
V8 on digi,  they replied after a couple calls,  they peaked at -5 for 
an hour and a half
from around 1600Z to 1730Z.
They have been loud here of course on 160/80/40 etc.   great operators 
to hear
me during the EU pile ups and listening on the EU antenna.  On CW the op
replied to RK9FD at first and was surprised when I corrected to just K9FD.

Thanks guys for the effort,  good job,  of course from KH6 much easier 
than from
K1.
