Topband: FO/AA7JV this morning (4/2)

[Ron Spencer]

Listened when first spotted but no joy on 160. Moved to 80 and worked George there with pretty good signal through the QRN. 



Saw he was spotted shortly after that on 160 so went and listened. Switching through receive antenna options found, by a long shot, best copy on YCCC 9 antenna array. At his peak, which was about 5 minutes before my SR, he was 20 to 25dB above my noise floor. Astonishingly loud. Probably could have worked barefoot. Peak was short lived and by 5 minutes or so after my SR back into the noise. Dennis. ZL1AB, was in there but the QRN was winning.
