I have beverages every 45 degrees and XZ1N was best on the NW. Copied 559
for about 20 minutes but started fading 10 minutes before sunrise. He said
QRZ "N0" several times but don't know for sure if he was hearing me or
someone else. Will keep trying. Talked to them on 20m SSB a while ago. The
op at XZ1N said the 160m antennas will be the last to come down. Topband op
is Robin .
