Topband: No joy in Mudville Florida

[David Raymond]

Here in Iowa, I got on TB last evening around 0015z and found OK1CF, 
EU's beacon, CQing with a very good S5 signal (he's normally just above 
the noise) and quickly completed a Q.  I then saw 5B4AMX spotted and 
found him CQing without many callers.  He was weak, about 339/449 but I 
completed a Q.  He then began quickly building. . .within 10 or 15 
minutes he was peaking an honest S7, doing a good job running the pile 
and puttin' 'em in the log.   I QSYd to TV and returned about 0330z and 
put nine more EUs in the log including an all time new callsign, DL5OCE. 
. . so there is some prop and life in the band on CW.

73. . . Dave, W0FLS
