Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night

[Tim Shoppa]

I think I was the one who first suggested Wednesday night aka Thursday
morning UTC, because the CWOps 0300z session wraps up at 0400z after which
I prowl around 160 a bit looking for EU DX.

I know there are several EU's who I work every week in the 0300Z session so
they are already up in the middle of the night.

I myself have just begun putting my 160 RX antennas back together... and of
course we have the pre-Stew this weekend!
