Well I spent 6 hours on topband during the recent CQWW just trying to
see if the 5A would show up. He didn't, but I did work 5V7A, and boy
was he loud. I heard him for over 2 straight hours on Friday night and
he peaked 599 on sunset Saturday. I managed to get 41 countries and 16
zones, not as good as last year but Europe wasn't as good either.
Another great signal worth mentioning was OH1MA/CT3, I heard him from
Sunset till 0530Z Saturday night. Every time I would come back to the
shack and operate, he was there CQ'ing.
