Topband: E51D tonight
George, I think I was the first through on FT8 I had previously decommissioned the 160 Inverted L for the season after working you on CW, but decided to fill out my Bingo card with an FT8 QSO. (Not my favorite mode, but we have a friendly "who works the most slots" club competition so it's necessary). So I braved the cholla cactus patch this afternoon to get the loading wire back in service. I could still use you on 40 and 60 FT8, but that's probably not in the cards. It's been fun.

Re: Topband: Last night on top band for E51D
Hi Jim, I never got anything on TB at or just after our SS. We are south of the Equator and the ITCZ thunderstorms are still pretty strong this early in the evening, putting a lot of QRN between us and NA (and EU). Things calm down after 0900 Z and NA comes in mostly strong. 73, George On Thu, 7 Sep 2023 21:39:50 -0700 Jim Brown wrote: Hi Guys, Have been looking for you B4 and around your sunset, but don't see you.

Re: Topband: E51D was banging in this morning at 579 hr in Ohio right through moderately heavy QRN.
on 3523.1 khz. started out Q4 but around 0900z built up to a solid 579 and armchair copy on my 52 ft vertical leg 80m INV-L ( essentially a qtr wave vert) but as it is still lawn mowing season, it was working against a single ground rod. All 26 radials are coiled up and hanging from a Black Walnut tree. TNX George for a new band and QSOs with W3HKK, W8TNX and WW8OH as you live the Good Life in the South Pacific, and take the time to share it with us!

Unfortunately I missed you on Tuesday on 160 CW when cndx were apparently excellent. Will you be on 160 cw tomorrow ~ 10z? (just before first light in W1) Will you also be on 40 CW? I still need North Cook on CW on both bands and would appreciate the opportunity to work you.
