Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 276, Issue 19

[Ed Gilliland]

Problem solved.  K4RO/Kirk reminded me that battery chargers are known 
sources and I had forgotten I left my charger on my lawn mower.

See you Saturday on 160 meters.

73, Ed

> With the solar wind around 700 kp/h, I got on around 0545z and 160 was wide open to Europe. I hit about 17 EU skimmers in the 20-35 SNR range which is VERY rare for me (maybe first time). I worked a few 100w stations and one 20w station, with 18 total stations in an hour. There was almost no NA activity. I had to QRT after an hour, but it was a fun time. Let?s hope for good conditions in the Stew Perry Contest this weekend.
