Re: Topband: Wednesday night activity report

[uy0zg via Topband]

Hi

Yes, there are no conditions at all (toward North America).


I woke up four times during the night. In the end, zero.

But the evening was good. Many people now have a new 4W country.

I also said hello for the first time this season to Kim HL5IVL.

Listened from 0100 UTC until 0230 UTC.  Called CQ several times during 
the period.  Even with the amp, no spots from EU.  I was hoping that 
conditions had calmed after the weekend.  No such luck.

Conditions this evening in NA are not good.  But last night (Tuesday 
evening NA time)  conditions were good as was CW activity.  I logged 11 
EU's Tuesday evening.  Monday evening was also good with 10 EU's in the 
log.  So all is not lost.  In the mornings I've been working VKs 
regularly with varying conditions. However, I have yet to log a JA/Asian 
station this season.  I've never gone this far into the season without 
having multiple JA/ Q's in the log.

I was unable to get a spot in EU on reverse beacon network even with the amp 
on.  I listened for my signals on some of the KiwiSDR's and could only hear 
myself on one, just barely.  160 had this pulsing repeat like a CW note, every 
1 kHz on every EU KiwiSDR I listened to.

Went to 80 and tried again.  Still lots of noise.  Finally spotted by G4IRN 
with the amp on.

I know it's early in the season, but I have had many 80 meter transatlantic 
QSO's in past years as early as 1 October.  The CME isn't expected to arrive 
until 1800 UTC on the 19th.

I was disappointed.
