Topband: Topband Contest- at sunrise

[GEORGE WALLNER]

Peter,
Thanks for the report.

Great conditions last night!
Starting around 0450 Z, the band got very good to EU from EJ06 (about 2400 
km west of Panama).
  I worked G, F, SM, OZ, SP, DL, S5, 9A, OM, OK, HB, R3, R2, LY and I.  
There was TS noise here, but most were a good copy with some QSB/QRM.
Power here was 1 kW to a 16 m long vertical with its base at about 15 m on 
top or metal structure (plus saltwater ground all around).
TKS and 73,
George
