Congratulations to Tim Tromp for his logging of Magic 702.....they are not that usual here in western British Columbia. And Bill Whitacre's audio on 774 is very tantalizing.
Easterners should be dusting off the receivers and antennas right now by the sound of it. The following is from the Topband list. There is quite a detailed write-up in qrz.com from N3HEEE. He is in Oakdale, PA....and says he had DU DX last year at this time also. best wishes, Nick ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joe Galicic <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Sep 1, 2017 at 1:22 PM Subject: Topband: ZL3IX Big surprise working ZL3IX at 1023Z this morning with only 100 watts and no RX antenna up yet. He was S9 at times ! I saw the spot but was sure I wouldn’t be able to hear him. Boy was I surprised when I tuned to his frequency and heard him like he was a local. The amp wasn’t warmed up yet so I gave him a call with 100 watts and he came right back on the first try.. This is the second time I have experienced this phenomenon on 160. I worked VK3IO last year about the same time of year where he was very strong and easy to work. I will have to pay more attention to 160 this time of year. Fun !
