Topband: 160 propagation

[Mark Lunday]

Val, that's quite remarkable.  Nodir, EY8MM, says he has always struggled from Central Asia with auroral zone to get into US on top band.  I have listened for years and never heard him on TB.  I wonder if this is correlation to right-after-a-geomagnetic-storm propagation I always hear about.

I had a great Week!  On 160

All of a sudden, while I was in the Shack I get an Alert..."OOOOGGGGGAAAA" comes through on JTAlert.
EX0QR comes up on screen, work him after 2 calls, he sends RR73 at -24.

Checked Log.  I'm in!  #305.  I had called EX8M for several years on CW.

Wow!
