I have had openings to the states on 80 meters the last few mornings. This is
45 minutes AFTER my sunrise. Ran 41 stations this morning. I can be found at
about 3.511Khz and QSX up 1 or so (when the pileup gets thick) starting from
about 0300z. I recently put up an 80 sloper and this has worked well with my
500 watts. Hope to see some of you who I haven't worked on 80 during this time.
Still no word if I can use the BC tower this season. I need permission so
until then 160 QSO's are going to be very limited from my home QTH.

Note: The tower he's talking about is the MW broadcast antenna on a
mountaintop outside Mbabane. I've seen the place--it's great. If he
makes it from there with a reasonable radio and some power for the
first time, you can count on a good crack at Swaziland. Here's
hoping...
