Topband: T32JV -- Test before Jarvis

[Stan Stockton]

I took the day off from playing golf yesterday and shunt fed my tower.  No separate RX antenna and city lot with S9+10 QRN.  When I woke up I saw Bob’s note about working T32JV and thought I would go to the radio room to see if I could hear anyone calling him.

 I did not hear anyone calling but heard T32JV!   George must have a tremendous signal for me to hear or work anything through my QRN level.

73..Stan, K5GO
