Re: Topband: V84SAA 2019
There is something magic that happens on any of the ham bands at any given time. Hearing weak signals that should not be there is what gets my heart pumping. Hearing watery signals on 160 meters from the opposite end of the world is about as exciting as it gets. Thank you to all the members of the V84SAA crew for such an outstanding effort on 80 and 160 meters. You made the magic.

Topband: V84SAA 2019
Every once in a while we on the West coast of the US see a little advantage for our DXing efforts over the East coast operators. V84SAA with their awesome expertise has shown to be one of those times. Kudos to the boys for some great DXpedition work. Their signals on the west coast 7600 miles away were simply outstanding. Particularly on 160 meters which interests me the most. I have placed some recordings on the cloud of what I was able to hear from here. These recordings were made on an experimental 3 element Hi-Z array. The recording file name with no band notation is from 160 meters. During that recording I switched from my transmitting antenna to the 3 element array. You can tell the switch point from the background noise increase. Their signal was quite good here and I would have been able to make the contact using only my TX antenna. Also kudos to Jeff for untiring dedication. Here is the link to the recordings. https://1drv.ms/f/s!Aic-1tUvn-65gWcEGD2tNa-JITWd Awesome. Lee Strahan K7TJR _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
