Hi Bob
Do agree with your observations relative to prop enhancement on the upside
(beginning) of solar disturbances. Especially for we northern types close to
the northern auroral zone.
I've made some extraordinary contacts in my 35years on topband during these
situations.
Now if we could just
I have also observed enhanced, and sometimes extraordinary, propagation at the
onset of disturbed conditions. A recent notable example was the LP QSO with
VK6VZ that I reported last month:

the time of the QSO, the K
I don't think it's just topband. I've observed exceptionally good
conditions right before a solar disturbance hits earth, on any and all
bands.

I have also seen big openings here in Oregon just prior to a big solar event.
If I recall correctly it was when I worked the A4 which is huge from the
Pacific Northwest.

Yes Lee I guess we have all seen as in my case enhancement from here to VK

I always check 160 on my GMT Christmas Eve - In 2013 I worked 8 EU in about 30

Thanks everyone for the replies, unfortunately I only have the small space I
have available to me, So I will have to try my best to get the most I can out
of what I have,
If it was easy it would be no fun as the say,

I also have experienced the same as Tim, with all bands, and particularly
the higher bands opening just as the geomagnetic storm builds. Then it is
rubbish for a few or several days after.
On the evening of the 4th, I could barely hear Ken XW4ZW. The next evening

Trevor, The good news it is relatively not difficult for you to work 200. By
tracking Dxpeditions and being capable of receiving. Beyond that things get
difficult, or at least certainly over 250. This only applies to EU (You).
Unfortunately noise is likely to be the killer of what's left of 160 in
Gentlemen,
If you are not very close to zero beat, I will not hear you. A bit of
offset may be okay and even helpful but a good few stations are only
recognized by their key clicks.I use a 300 Hz note so imagine that I
only need you to be 20 Hz off the zero beat. I find the CWT feature
Hi Clive
I'm happy to break the 100 I'll keep at I it and try to improve my station as I
go,
Thanks agaib for all the help.
