Topband: S9OK doesnt seem to hear the US very well

Two nights ago they were fairly strong around 0500z on 1832 but so was
the QRN. Brutal copy.

Last night they were much better copy but again at 0500z they didnt
seem to be replying to NA stations, or any stations for that matter. I
called for 20 mins with no luck.

They also tend to QRX and QSY quite a bit, so Im guessing they have
QRN and or power line noise issues on 160/80. (where I need them.)

Maybe tonight....

 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 :).

 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.

 73,

 Carl W9LF
