Re: Topband: Bouvet Island DX-pedition
I hope that 160/80m can be activated. At 160m, I'm 3 entities short of 300. 3Y0 may be one of the three missing ones. I HOPE. 3Y5X was a good activation, but not on lower bands for me.

I presume that with the problems they are having, they won't be getting on 160m? I already worked it ages ago, so not too bothered personally. 73 Roger G3YRO _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
