Topband: Little Pistol Report-Oct 9/10

[Bill Stewart]

GM All, 
I usually sit on the side line and read the postings, but wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth on 
this mornings condx. I thought the band would be noisy due to the remnants of the storm west 
of NC, but the band was quiet. I also was able to work a few VK's...four to be exact. The strongest, 
by far, was VK4KW. He peaked around 7:10AM here in NC and was a real 589. I was able to work 
two other VK's last week. Last night I worked the first EU stn of the season, OK1CF. He was quite 
strong, but no other EU stns were head. The setup here is quite simple...a TS-440S, 100w and a 
avg. inverted L, with a four wire CP, all of which are covered over with tall pines. Sure hope condx 
are good for another top band season. Little pistols can have fun too....hi.
