Dear Topbanders the plan is to continue topband operation until Sunday. The latest news are that the container with equipment will leave here on Monday to reach the planned ship departure. Last night has been poor. We had a thunderstorm with lightnings short before sunset. It came from the south over the mountains and went north west making the band unusable at US time. Crashes continued full night until sunrise. Worked few EUs in the morning half hour before sunrise 1xOH2 1xON 3xOM 1xDF6. Band closed with the sunrise. There was no sunrise peak. I thought I would understand topband propagation after many activities in the south but it always surprises me. Every night is different. 73 Dietmar _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
