Topband: TB - Signs of Life

[Steve Babcock]

Yesterday I was listening to Dave work those EU, but I heard nothing.

Last night however, I came to the radio at around 340z to shut things down and had good copy OK1DOT calling CQ with a strong signal. (my RBN skimmer decoded him too)
I was very surprised when IC8DAK answered my CQ, followed by OK1CF, LY7M and OH0Z.  Things seemed to fizzle out around 400z.

My first EU this season was OK1CF back on Aug 27, but I haven’t heard anything since then till last night.  Lets hope the trans-polar signals continue.

73, Steve, ve6wz

Nice to see some activity on the band.  Now, if we can just see some of our JA/HL/Asia friends on TB, that would be FB.
