Hi Merv 4W6A started on 160m just after his Sunset. He's signal was in and out until I got a good peak near 10:15 Z and a solid QSO, Doug NX4D also worked him few minutes after me., as well Dave W5UN a little later. There was a nice sunrise peak around 11:00 Z down here in S Fla.
4W6A has a strong signal and can hear extremely well on 160m.

Was 4W6A. He said QSX up so went up 1 and called, had to call several times before he finally came back. There was some QSB but he was about 579 here, not as strong as expected as on the other bands he is very strong. I heard a couple JA, UA0, KH6 calling him up 1 and he was having a hard time working any one, he stayed maybe 10 mins and left. I hope that there was just some local QRN or something. Anyway they are active at least on top band. GL 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
