Topband: Solar Cycle Fun

[Don Moman VE6JY]

 Steve, I was hearing some audio on a few on the Eu MW channels around 0040
ut and then saw the spot for FR4NT and checked, and was hearing bits of
signal. Perhaps peaking around 0100.  As usual the peak seemed to come
while the amp was warming up....  I never called him, just too weak and too
many others calling, and all simplex.
