Topband: Activity Topband Left Coast Perspective

[W7RH]

Here is a report from West Coast morning Joe group. In some respect we 
are lucky. The seasonal thunderstorm noise is not real bad yet in the 
morning hours. I see a few eastern guys looking for OC and Asia in the 
morning so here is a list of the active stations on CW.

JA1LZR Joe, is a regular and has very capable station. Aki, JA5DQH (1000 
UTC) is active mostly for East coast sunrise and has great signal and 
great ears. Other JA include JR1RJZ, JE1TSD, JA4CQS and JH1RZY.

AL7JX is active

ZL1AZ is active and has very good RX capability.

VK activity is very good in the morning. Signals are now not as strong 
as they were near the Spring Equinox but are workable most mornings. 
VK2WF, VK3HJ and VK6LW are regulars and have good RX capability. Add in 
VK3CWB and VK3NX for good measure.

While these stations are not rare they have provided great signals for 
propagation analyzing. 12-15K km contacts in the morning are always fun. 
With many I have enjoyed working them as they improve their stations 
capabilities.

Steve VE6WZ, AA6AA and myself spot most stations in the morning if they 
are calling CQ. You can find the above right now 1815-1828 frequency range.

73 and good DX

Stay healthy!

Bob, W7RH
