Topband: ARRL SSB Contest

[Kenneth Grimm]

Roger,
I hasten to disagree with you.  Conditions, as far as I'm concerned, were
quite good last evening on top band.  In only a brief period of time I
managed over 20 QSOs with Europeans, some with honest S9 signals.  While
the "spotlight" seemed to not be terribly important, power was.  500 and
1000 watt stations were easily S5 to S9.  Hundred watt stations were a
little more difficult, but easy copy for the most part.  In fact, I seemed
to have more trouble copying some of the Carribean stations than I did the
European ones!  Stations were spread out from 1.810 to 1.900 and easy
pickings!
I hope conditions will persist and tonight will be a repeat!
73,
