Hi Jay,

I remember that one, congrats, but I don't recall the date. I'd like to
make a summary of TA on 600/630m.

date time freq mode   east          |        west
---------------------------------------------------------
?         500? CW  EI0CF 559  20m T | WE2XGR/2 559 400W  90' top loaded tower
               SSB EI0C  ?    20m T | WE2XGR/6
9 2 10 0400 502 CW PA0A 400W 5W ERP | WE2XGR/6

Etc.

Thanks
Joe VO1NA
