Topband: Wednesday 160m Activity Night
Well good to hear lots of activity last night! I managed to work 16 NA stations, including across to Arizona, Colorado and Washington state. Hope there will be lots of stations on again nest Wednesday ! Oh and Bill W3WH - sorry I couldn't work you. There were a few stations calling me that were only just coming out of the noise. (that's the trouble with living in a city - even with my Receiving Loop it can be difficult sometimes) Roger G3YRO _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Topband: Wednesday 160m Activity Night
Well DX propagation has certainly been up and down the past few weeks . . . one day it can be rubbish . . . the next day really good. But here's the thing . . . sometimes the band is wide open (as shown by getting really strong RBN reports) . . . but there's only one or two stations on! So I'm going to suggest again what I suggested last season . . . one night in the week where as many people as possible make an effort to come on the band and have lots of QSOs. This certainly worked last season . . . on many Wednesdays I had over 30 North American contacts, it was great ! So I'll be on the band from around 23.30Z tonight . . . and then popping on a few times during the night too (although I'm still noticing no peak these days at my Sunrise - if anything signals drop off as dawn approaches!)

Topband: Wednesday 160m Activity Night
Well, great to hear lots of stations on 160 last night! I came on around Z for an hour . . . and again at 0600Z (meant to come on at 0330Z, but went back to sleep!) However, I managed to work 36 North American stations. There seemed to be quite a few Europeans on too. Thanks to everyone who made an effort to come on the band. Let's make this a regular thing EVERY Wednesday! 73 Roger G3YRO _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
