George — you were very loud on my rain gutter antenna and thank you for the contact. You hear well!
Despite a minimal antenna with high local noise and around 50 watts, I worked the following patient DX in the contest: DX: ZF9CW, KP4AA, PJ2T, AA7JV/MM & VP5M. Got on to hand out a few Qs to contestants while watching 6 for UT1FG/MM. No 80 or 160M antenna. Stations went in the log, I set a goal of 50. Then 100.... Forgot how fun and challenging 160M can be. Plan a better set up next year. * Jon N0JK KS ________________________________ Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2024 18:57:09 -0500 From: "GEORGE WALLNER" <[email protected]> To: "W3HKK" <[email protected]>, "'[email protected]'" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Topband: Topband Contest- at sunrise Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format="flowed" I thought propagation was very good. MM in the Pacific from about 1400 miles west of Panama (in DJ76), I could hear EU, including R3 stations quite well. No man-made noise here, except my own.
