- Greetings Topbanders. . . I've spent a considerable amount of time on watch this past week for J28MD on Topband (CW). While they've spent a fair amount of time on TB I haven't yet had success yet in

- Not making much noise here, but sure hearing a lot. I did work PJ4K on 10/30 on SSB no less. I'm almost sorry to say I dropped down to FT8 and worked 25 JA stations in a run. On 11/2 I worked DU7E
