Topband: 160 status this am

Conditions to Asia this morning from here in Iowa were quite good.  JH1HDT, 
JA0MVW, and JA7BXS were CQing for some time and all had good signals. . 
.true 569-579 occasionally peaking 589.  Kim/HL3IVL was solid 559-569. . 
.the strongest I've heard him this season.  JK1OLT, an all time new call 
sign, called in with a Q5 449 signal.  Alas, nary a peep from VK9CZ while he 
was on CW.  I don't think he had many NA takers (if any) and migrated to 
FT-8.  All in all. . . a good morning.  The evening conditions to EU have 
been generally very good as well.  Sometimes spotty with some areas having 
great prop and others poor, but good openings overall with plenty of CW 
activity.  Things are looking good so far this season.  Let's get on and 
have fun!

Having hooked my inverted L yesterday I woke early (not on purpose) so 
grabbed some coffee and turned on the radio. I could hear JA from Ohio on 
the Hi-Z an hour before my sunrise. Called a few times to no avail. 15 
minutes later put two JAs in the log. Heard peeps of some other Asian stuff 
but no real copy.

Topband could be good this season!
