Topband: H40TT on 160m

[John Zantek]

> To keep this on-topic, I worked H40TT on 20 SSB today and told him that we'd like some CW on topband. He said that was the other op, but thought he would be trying tonight (our morning).

That would have been Grant/KZ1W, who organized the trip and does SSB/FT8.  Rob/N7QT does the CW and is _very_ good.  Both are members of Western WA DX Club and are great fellows.  They're packing up and coming home on Thursday.  It's been a REALLY wet trip for them; there were delays in getting the low band receive antennas up, since the local boys couldn't safely climb the slippery trees in the rain/wind.  I was fortunate to work Rob the first night (my morning) they were on TB, then Grant the next night on digital.  There was also no Internet access, so back-channel comms were limited to Rob's Garmin InReach.
