Topband: Wednesday 160m DX CW Activity Night

[David Olean]

  Roger,

Sorry I missed you. I think I was QRV when you were not. After some 
quality time with the XYL, I got on about 0200 UT and went until sunrise 
in Europe. Signals were certainly good, and I worked a few all time new 
stations as well, so that was nice.

I listened for VP8PJ for quite awhile, but heard almost nothing. Then I 
figured out that my South beverage is broken. It produces band noise, 
but no signals. It's always something. Today is pouring rain, so I doubt 
that i will fix it today.

I listened a bit on FT-8 at my sunset as well as CW, but nothing unusual 
there. I could not hear HL5IVL nor any JA stations. Still, the path 
between NA and EU was very good last night. Too bad it was so lightly 
utilized. :<(
