Topband: interesting condx

[Raymond Benny]

I was on 160m FT8 this morning between 0830z and 0930z and ran 40 JAs non
stop. They were all between -8 to -24, but workable.

Seems I was the only one up at that time. Could have worked more but had to
QRT for bed.

I'm near Prescott, AZ in a rural quiet location.

Ray, N6VR,
W7YA on FT8
