 Low-bands - From Eric, K3NA, low-bands guru;

Very disappointing last night on low-bands.  Many loud US station 
calls could not be extracted from the continuous static.  Few JA 
stations could be also worked.  By the normal time of the EU opening, 
static levels had returned to normal, but there was no EU opening.
On 160, worked 4 JA and heard UA0MF, but could not complete a QSO. 
All low-band ops hoping for better conditions today, and ask that US 
stations please try again. 

Note:
Final night of low-band ops will be 0800 - 1930 UTC Tuesday. 
 
  Amplifier - The use of the VL-1000 amplifier has been reviewed.  
Although fuel is not such a concern the amplifier was only ever 
intended for low-band use, and as such, hi-power capable filters are 
only available for 160, 80 and 40M.  Our other 30 - 10M bandpass 
filters in the filter farm are only rated at 200W which is what we 
get out of our FT-1000MP MkIV's.  This is only 3dB down on our 400W 
limit in VK anyway, and we do not want to risk imminent damage to the 
filters by running more power than they were designed to handle.  
Multi-multi operation without bandpass filters is not an option.
