Topband: 80 and 160

[K9FD]

!60 has been open over the pole here for a few days,  today no 
exception,  usually can work
20 to 30 contacts,    mostly North EU,  Russians,  and of course Asia, 
VK, this morning A71EM
called me with a great signal 599.   I tuned up to 20 meter after 
sunrise and EU signals were
the loudest I have heard in some time,   interesting conditions.
