Topband: J51A

[EUGENE GABRY]

 Hi Andy,
Heard you FB last night from about 04:30utc until about 05:30utc on CW. Called you throughout that time period with no joy  There were many other state side ops calling you and you must not have copied as well. You were anywhere from 3db to 10db above the noise here in middle TN with periods of deep qsb, but I was able to copy youmost times when qsb bottomed out. Only running 100 watts to a short 22' vertical to knee inverted L, 110' horizontal leg 20' to 22'above ground. Will be watching for you in the coming nights. Fingers crossed. J5 would be new on 160. GL and have fun!

 Hey topbanders, last night we made 1200 QSOs on 160m.650 in CW and 550 in FT8.If conditions are good and there is activity we prefer CW before QSY to FT8.I worked much stations from NA, also west coast, so please warm up your radios and PAs and give us a call.I will be there every night.
Here a short video from our location in J5.
