Re: Topband: Conditions Improving?
Good cndx no surprise - the K index dropped to 0 for a few hours and then stayed at k=1. TN8K was audible here for several hours in and out, with long and deep fades but peaking briefly ~ 569, and definitely favoring stations in the Mid-western, Western and Southern US. I'm using an Inv L with 3 elevated radials so signal strengths were certainly better at the serious 160 stations. I also heard a lot of EU stations work TN8K most of which were < 559. Maybe 160 ops should complain about cndx more often? LOL! 73 Bob, KQ2M On 2023-01-09 08:03, Roger Kennedy wrote: Ironic that after complaining how poor DX Propagation has been for the past few weeks, they were quite reasonable from around 0300Z last night . . . _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Topband: Conditions Improving?
Ironic that after complaining how poor DX Propagation has been for the past few weeks, they were quite reasonable from around 0300Z last night . . . Having seen fair reports from RBN stations, I carried on calling CQ for half an hour, and worked a few NA stations, including Georgia and Alabama. (I was also spotted by a KL7 station . . . but guess he may not have been in Alaska) Hopefully this will prompt more CW activity. 73 Roger G3YRO _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Yes, managed to work a few more stateside stations on SSB in the CQ WW contest last night. But because of the clocks going forward to GMT, woke up an hour after sunrise, so missed checking the band this morning Tom! 73 Roger G3YRO >Really good to hear 160 conditions getting better by the day!

Really good to hear 160 conditions getting better by the day! Greg ZL3IX was peaking 569 running only 50 watts on long path at my sunrise today. Forget the digital modes and start bashing that key! 73, Tom G3OLB _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
