Re: Topband: 160 propagation

[Mark Lunday]

Val, that's quite remarkable.  Nodir, EY8MM, says he has always struggled from 
Central Asia with auroral zone to get into US on top band.  I have listened for 
years and never heard him on TB.  I wonder if this is correlation to 
right-after-a-geomagnetic-storm propagation I always hear about.

I had a great Week!  On 160

All of a sudden, while I was in the Shack I get an Alert..."G" 
comes through on JTAlert.
EX0QR comes up on screen, work him after 2 calls, he sends RR73 at -24.

Checked Log.  I'm in!  #305.  I had called EX8M for several years on CW.

Wow!

Luke came back to my CQ with signals that were armchair copy.

He appeared to also have good copy on me, even though I was only running
100 watts.

Roger - its amazing how the SP Spring Contest brought in quite a few
F, OM, DL sigs that were strong. Plus my local sunrise CQ SP brought
back a reply from Luke, VK3HJ - NICE surprise! 

But since that weekend, 160 has been quiet ( other than QRN, of
course.)

Topband: DX Propagation

[Roger Kennedy]

There seems to be almost a complete lack of DX Propagation on 160m for the
past few days . . . certainly from Europe.

Yet inter-G propagation seems normal.
