Topband: E51D on 160 Tonight

[GEORGE WALLNER]

G'day Top Banders,
I got on TB at 1100 Z. Noise from a tropical system north of us (we are -9 
degrees, south of the Equator) was causing extreme QRN. I could barely copy 
S9+ stations. Normally TS noise comes in crashes separated by seconds. This 
time the crashes were virtually continuous. QSY-d to 80, where the noise was 
less, but still troublesome. I know that many wanted me to work TB, but it 
was impossible tonight. Will be back tomorrow at 1100 Z, hoping for better 
CONDX.

73,
George
