This season is the first time I've had decent antennas for topband (inverted L and K9AY loops). I've been having lots of fun working all kinds of DX but one entity eluded me - JA. I worked S9SS last night for a new one so thought conditions might be good to JA this morning. Boy, was I right! The band was loaded and I worked JA8ISU, JA0QNJ and JA7NI, with signals coming in well past sunrise. No big deal for you big guns but I was pretty excited. Need one more entity to make 100. 73, Tom N2CU <><
