Topband: KH8 from Manu-a -- Update

2023-11-01 Thread GEORGE WALLNER

We have dropped anchor at Manu-a this afternoon. We tried to get to the 
beach in the tender, but it was way too rocky and we could not even get 
close to the beach. I have swam out to the shore and have scouted out a 
channel that we will attempt tomorrow morning at high tide. Fingers crossed.
The location has a 1200' almost vertical mountain-side to the S, SE and SW. 
Open to the NE, N and NW.


(Google maps -14.164769 -169.621227.) I hope that a skewed path opening will 
get me to  W EU just after my SS, starting around 0530 Z. And then E EU 
maybe around my SR at 1630 Z.

I will post if we make is ashore in one piece and get the radio working.
You never know
73,
George,
AA7JV

Topband: Looking back 11 years ago on 160

2023-11-01 Thread Mark Lunday

The band was on fire from here in central NC.

Logbook shows lots of EU, C5, KH6, 5T, PY0S, RI1ANF, V5, ZS, ZL, even UY0ZG!

Something is different, maybe it's not just me.

Topband: Wednesday activity report

2023-11-01 Thread Mark Lunday

OK1CF/Karel heard about 0040 UTC calling CQ, very deep QSB going from Q5 copy 
down to nothing and back again.  K4TL worked him from Florida but I was not 
heard.

I called CQ numerous times but no replies.  Even with 500 watts I was not 
making it onto any of the RBN spotters from EU.

Went up to 80 with 500 watts and was spotted by G4IRN.

This is depressing.  I don't have high hopes for the 160 meter contest in 
December.  What a difference from 2009-2010 when 100 watts easily got me into 
EU and middle east.

Thomas

I expressed my opinion on the topic in a very cultured manner, based on 
facts and experience. But I was forced to respond to the insult of an 
inadequate person. So sorry.


This isn't the worst thing. Here, sometimes rockets and drones fly above 
our heads. And we live and work on the air.
