Topband: 7P8 last night

[FZ Bruce]

Worked them at their sunrise but not in clublog some hours later
showing their end posting time. . but this morning found my call is
listed. Looks was only slow posting of 160 contacts. Check clublog
again for your call sign.

The half dozen of us in central Illinois did not fare so well. Rain
throughout the area made it difficult to hear, but we were glad they
were on during our opening. At one point the wind was louder than the
amplifier fan! There was a bit of a peak, with fading towards their
sunrise. I don’t believe anyone got through, so we will be on again
this evening.

 We are looking for a shot at XR0ZRC, 3B8XF, and 5X3C. It’s good to
have some nice DX to chase.

 They were working EU on 160m during most of our evening here in NA. I
 think K7ZV was the first NA to get through about an hour before their
SR.
 Then less than maybe a dozen or so did make it right up to and past
their
 SR. They are clearly hearing much better as they were never very
strong
 here but did hear me 12 minutes after their SR. I felt very
fortunate.
 Then my QSO did not show up in Club Log so I called and worked them a
second
 time 14 minutes after their SR. Shortly after they went QRT LA3BO,
Svein,
 came on LB Chat and said the 160m logging computer was "not on line
at the
 moment" so not able to do real time reporting. As a result none of
last
 night's 160m QSO show up in Club Log. Anyway, a big step forward for
this
 operation.

 The 7P8 operation was very active up to (and a bit beyond) their
sunrise
 today. They primarily worked Europe - but eventually called for only
NA.
 Not a lot of guys made it into the log, but a few did. They peaked up
 around 0400Z here, but then slowly faded up to their sunrise.
Sometimes we
 get a very distinct sunrise peak, but that perhaps happens more in
the dead
 of winter here.

 I believe this operation will be on the air a while longer. They were
on
 1824 listening up.

 I had gotten on the rig to support the Wednesday night activity
effort, but
 all of the activity was focused on this one station. I did hear and
OH5
 and CT calling in the pileup, so the band was open to Europe.
