Re: Topband: TO7CC
Operating as W1AW/9 I worked them at 0135Z Saturday night on 80M. They had a pretty good signal. They were operating high in the band, 3555.

Re: Topband: TO7CC
Jim, N6SS in AZ worked him a few days ago at our SS on 80m. They were on 80m RTTY yesterday at SS and workable in AZ. I don't do RTTY, so still looking for them, They were also on yesterday at SS on 160m but no one west of W5 land heard or worked them. Its going to be difficult with the Contest starting later today.

Re: Topband: TO7CC
They have been on 160/80 almost every day, so far I have not heard a peep on 160, seems they are on for their sunset and then move to 80. Right now at 1700Z they are 579 at my sunrise peak on 3510 Think they start on 160 about 1400-1430Z 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 Has anyone heard or worked these guys on 80 or 160? 73, Jim K9YC _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Re: Topband: TO7CC
Heard bits and dits on 160 last night my sunset gray line, but noise from snow was too great for solid copy. Worked them at 0100 on 80 on Wednesday. Not strong, but workable. They have said that they will operate through their night if there is an opening on 80 and/or 160. 73, Ken - K4XL On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 12:30 PM, Merv Schweigert k...@flex.com wrote: They have been on 160/80 almost every day, so far I have not heard a peep on 160, seems they are on for their sunset and then move to 80.

They need to understand grey line propagation to work NA on 160 and 80, and to realize that there's an opening to Zone 3/4 around their sunset and our sunrise. FT5ZM did that to great advantage, working Zone 4/5 around 4/5 sunset and Zone 3/4 at sunrise. According to ClubLog, they made 3,571 Qs on Topband, of which 784 were to North America! 73, Jim K9YC _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Re: Topband: TO7CC
Jim, Your points about understanding grey line propagation is right. I know that they have been on almost everyday working just that. If you have a great circle map located on your QTH you will see a very great difference in paths between FT5ZM and TO7CC. FT5ZM was almost a East West path and TO7CC is North South Path right through the intensity of the auroral oval a much more difficult path by far. So I don't think I can expect to hear TO7CC as easily as I did FT5ZM.
