Wes,
Very few NA made it into the log on TB last night. You must have a great
signal to punch through.
TKS and 73,

George,
I feel your pain.
I'm 1/8 mile from the street and power line, which has recently developed
enough noise to wipe out an AM broadcast station while I'm driving down the
street. The power company RFI guy has yet been unable to find the source since
it's so widespread.
Yesterday, it became somewhat intermittent and during quiet periods I could
hear you. I called at 1154Z and was pretty sure we completed but the noise
popped up just at the end, so I wasn't positive. Fortunately, it appeared that
enough JAs were keeping you on so I waited until my sunrise when you peaked up
and managed to work you again at 1242Z. This time I had no question. I see by
your log, we did work twice. Thanks!

G'day Top Banders,
I got on TB at 1100 Z. Noise from a tropical system north of us (we are -9
degrees, south of the Equator) was causing extreme QRN. I could barely copy
S9+ stations. Normally TS noise comes in crashes separated by seconds. This
time the crashes were virtually continuous. QSY-d to 80, where the noise was
less, but still troublesome. I know that many wanted me to work TB, but it
was impossible tonight. Will be back tomorrow at 1100 Z, hoping for better
CONDX.
73,
George
