Re: Topband: K1N what time are they QRV on top?
Thanks everyone for your advice on times. I had not been paying attn. at all this week due to work & home responsibilities. I tried late last evening and although they were an honest S9 here, the p/u was fierce. When they started calling for EU, I went to bed. Tried @ 4am, but they were not QRV. At 7am local, I was most fortunate to get them on 160-80 then 40 inside 10 minutes. Almost too easy (oops, did I say that?) I’ll pay for that I am sure….. ;-) hi Awesome operators and honestly awesome signals on all bands I’ve heard them on. Shame that QRM follows them around.

Hi Mike Good time to catch them is after EU sunrise - say around 3-4 A.M. your time. I worked them the other morning - one call :-) Tom - VE3CX On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 5:03 PM, Mike & Coreen Smith VE9AA wrote: OK, finally, Friday has arrived and although I have a new one on 14MHz from the car (on my way to work) , I don't yet have it on TOP.

Re: Topband: K1N what time are they QRV on top?
Thanks Herb! I am pilot for Asia myself. :) Guys on Island doing their best! I am sure they will start lsn to Asia and Europe soon. We can't dream for better Topband team which is the island now. We just hope that 160 m will be as good as today in following days! I can copy them daily 0200-0230Z when they are ON. But today their signal was very special.

Nodir, Don't forget to let one of the pilots know of your TB reception from EY8 and your limited window . Tony, K2SG is very helpful as I am trying to get their attention on 28 Mhz backscatter which is a significant challenge. We are only 700 miles apart and skip will not do it but backscatter might as I was hearing K1N 559 by beaming to SA on 10 but of course I have no chance with the huge 40 over pile ups this way.

My point here is if they can hear 1 watt at about 700 miles on TB they are hearing very well in spite of the QRN and have a superb setup on 160 meters. _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

They have very smart topband ops, so they will likely be there from grayline to grayline. Since you may come close to sharing the grayline with them, those are good times to start. 73, Jim K9YC _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
