Topband: S9OK 160m EU

[Carl Braun]

S9OK was light with me last night here in northern WI but I could copy.  Listened to the pile up...up...up....with lots of east coasters calling from NA but hearing VERY few stations west of me.

I was listening on an 80m vertical so less than ideal RX antenna.

Andy,
You were a fairly solid 529 into Central KY on my GAP vertical (Poor RX antenna). I gave you a few calls with no luck (apparently a bad TX antenna also :)). S9OK was just under the noise level. Work begins this weekend on a HI-Z 4-square :).
