Last night had very good conditions and I was called by HL3IUA who answered my CQ and we made what is most likely the first ever TopBand QSO between HL and TF.
I also made 13 QSOs with JA stations in approximately one hour.
It appears that with my beverage antenna for JA I can hear the JAs better than they can hear me. I am also helped by the extremely low noise level at my location.
However, last night we had a snow storm with high winds and ice and my amplifier kept tripping due to high SWR at times. This cuts out the amplifier for two seconds and completely prevents damage to any components in the system, but is rather uncomfortable regardless.
Kaz JA8ISU sent me an audio recording of my QSO with JH8SRI .
