Topband: Got 40 meter dipole and 80 meter Comek 4-Square up in the air

2018-10-05 Thread terry burge
Hello again, I have just updated my qrz.com/ki7m page concerning the 40 meter dipole and the Comtek 80 meter 4-Square I've mentioned before. Took some helpful advice and rebuilt the 40 meter dipole starting with larger and thicker wall aluminum tubing. Also added a 30 meter wire dipole to the

One problem for us on (or near) the west coast is too many DX stations to the west QRT before our sunrise.  I rely on the SR enhancement and, probably more important, the diminished QRN from the east as the continental land mass becomes sunlit.   Of course, to the east it's pretty much hopeless

I heard both sides of the QSO last night between TO6OK and K9CT on 160M! Wow! I didn't get a topband QSO with Mayotte myself but it looks like maybe 50 or so US stations did. Tim N3QE On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 9:44 AM wrote: > Hi topband lovers > > The good days of 160m propagation is back!

Oh I wish, but not for the West Coast. Been listening intently on 160m for the TO6, 9X0 and 3V8 to be audioable, but nothing. I need them all. Both TO6 and 9X0T were workable on 80m. Earily Oct is too soon for us, maybe there is hope for the 3V8... Will keep listening. Ray, N6VR On Fri, Oct

Hi topband lovers The good days of 160m propagation is back! T88UW signal was real 569 10 minutes after my SR. Ichiro is running 100W and a sloper antenna not so high. Robert DU7ET also with good signal this morning. All lovely cw signals. DX season on 160m is open and very promising. 73's
