Greetings Top Band Zealots
October 23 0300 to 0600 utc
many Europeans coming thru to WEST USA -
got 579s from SM5EDX ( beacon of SM)
PA0CLN, SM4CAN, OH3XR, OH2BO -
etc - heard a bunch of EU that did not
hear me - The bands was really nice
Given a scale of 1 to 10 for TOP BAND
station prowess -
with W8JI and K9DX rating a solid TEN.
My present set up ( dual slopers) is a solid
2.1 ! so considering my " ears" are not
great , the band sounded really good to me !
I suspect each EUROPEAN worked had
a very extensive TOP BAND antenna system
for both TX and RX - the OH stations were
very solid as was John SM5EDX.
