Topband: TK0C skimmer on 160

[uy0zg]

Hello Joel

Thanks

We also observed powerful atmospheric discharges in Ukraine. Your 
station's signal was the only one from North America at the beginning of 
the test.

There's a good audio recording of your work.


On Saturday evening there were excellent conditions for Oceania and Japa

But there are only seven Japanese in my log....
