160 METRES ---> Bernie McClenny, W3UR, editor of The Daily DX, wants Topband
operators outside North America to be reminded to stay clear of 1820 and 1830
if they wish to be heard in North America. These two frequencies have
harmonics that make it almost impossible to copy weak signal DX. DX stations
can listen on 1820 and 1830, if it is clear, but please do not transmit
there.
9L1AB ---> Andy, G3AB arrived back home on 6 December, after a 26-day
activity (single operator) from Freetown, Sierra Leone as 9L1AB. 40362 QSOs

1265 QSOs on 160m. Only dipole and inverted L antennas were used. A full
report with statistics and photos will appear on the website soon
(http://www.g3ab.net/9l1ab.htm). Direct QSL cards are already being mailed
