Doug, Just because you can’t hear it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Much of the weak signal stuff heard on today’s high tech radios couldn’t be heard 70-80 years ago. Technology has advanced. Try using a regen receiver on those signals you are able to hear today. Doesn’t mean the signal is not t

Excellent Doug. What fun. I heard JT1CO on the long path this evening and bits and pieces of his signal about 11:30Z this morning. TB is alive and well. 73, Bob K3UL -Original Message- From: Topband On Behalf Of VE6WZ_Steve Sent: Thursday, December 5, 2019 7:13 PM To: uy0zg Cc: Topb

Hi Nick, Yes it was great to have a nice EU opening at my sun-rise. I worked Alex along with 16 other EU at or before EU Sunset beginning at 1209z. After working a number of the usual Asia suspects as well as BD4WN I decided to switch to Omni TX and set the RX array to EU and straight north. Fi

Those of us in NA had a pleasant surprise this morning. Chak, JT1CO, showed up early on 1822.5 calling for NA and then returned a little later around 1020z. He was reasonable copy much of the time with Q5 signals. There were long, slow, deep QSB with fades to nil only to return a minute or so

Well propagation TO North America from here seemed reasonable last night . . . But return signals were mostly poor (and lots of QSB) Also didn't hear many stations on . . . but maybe I just couldn't hear them ! (there were several stations that called me that were down in the noise.) Hopefull
