Unbelievable signals in CQ160 this weekend..many stations 40 over on my FT1000 and several TX and AZ signals pegged the meter at 60 over
PJ2T was 35 over most of the time
lost my receiving antennas to storms in December and had to use cage only
still have right wrist in cast so have to hunt and pounce only QLF but had fun

Subject: [IRCA] TPÂ 27 Jan Victoria version.
This morning might take the title for the season's worst...
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):
not by any means
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):
the above passing through
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:
not in the slightest
