[SADXA] More greyline stuff, and an 80m spot.

I'm sure that Bill, W7EXG, would have described the greyline opening 
more elegantly and completely than I just did.  Here's what I didn't 
have time to say a few minutes ago.

Tucson shared the greyline with Rome for a relatively extended period of 
time tonight: many minutes.  After a busy day doing other stuff I 
discovered the band opening relatively late, almost before it was over.

Nevertheless, that opening temporarily provided an excellent propagation 
path between here and 1A0C.  It made a difference for me, in that I 
tried unsuccessfully for much of last night to get a 1A0C QSO on 30 
meters.  Tonight I got them on 40m with the first call.

Now on to try for a CW QSO. They're spotted on 80m right now (on 3.524 
MHz, running split) but my dipole isn't hearing them well at all.  Maybe 
I'll get lucky but the propagation conditions seem to be against it.

GL & 73,  Jim  W9FI
