Topband: Trans-polar EU condx at VE6WZ

[David Raymond]

A totally different perspective from here in the Midwest (snowy Iowa).  
I got on last night about 0500z.  Stig/OZ4MM and Mike/F5IN and a couple 
of others were on but far from workable.  I did manage to squeek by and 
marginally work Rino/IK7JTF around my SS at 2325z.  Conditions with EU 
were just not good here all evening.
