Right on Mike,
About two or three years ago there was a distinct deterioration of
operational courtesy on what had been known as the Gentleman's Band.
This was noted by an number of posts to this reflector. Again, there was
an obvious explanation, although I don't recall it being mentioned.
Dave,
Your difficulty may be the result of expecting vertical polarization to
work well an low geomagnetic latitudes. In his " Big Gun's Guide to Low
Band Propagation", the late Bob Brown, NM7M, described how the resonance

IMPORTANT:
Do a statistical analysis of Q-rates per band, and choose the most
productive bands to concentrate on exclusively for the remainder of the
expedition. This will maximize inflow of QSL's (with attachments), and
maximize happiness.
Send a publicity expert ahead to prepare the way,
I would like to add my congratulations and thanks, and a vote for George
and Tomi as the most dedicated and best Top Band DX-peditioners ever!!
I have been counting on them for a New One on 160 each year!
Wouldn't 4W would be a more comfortable spot for the next one?

I have just learned this morning that Rod Newkirk, VA3ZBB/W9BRD died
last night.
Old time DX'ers will remember the column "How's DX - by Rod Newkirk
W9BRD" which appeared monthly since some time in the 1940's until the
1970's.
About 20 years or so ago on 40m CW, Rod, W9BRD worked Betty, V
The "1810.8" signal now appears to be at 1810.5, with a peaks about 200
or 300 Hz on either side. I estimate its bearing is just East of South
(perhaps 160 degrees), from near Ottawa, FN25.

At one point this week there were six sunspot groups visible on the

This suggests that we may have reached (or close to) the peak of this
cycle. Or at least the first of a double peak. This is ten months or
so earlier than predicted.

Hi Eddy,
Don't get your hopes up. For one thing, aluminum oxide is a very good
insulator - its conductivity is around 10 to the 14th ohm.cm - although
it has a high dielectric constant (around 9 to 11, depending on crystal
orientation). A cloud of this could affect radio waves, but I wouldn

What we in NA need is the period from 0500 to 0545 UTC for the "dawn
enhancement" effect.
Hope they don't get tired from listening to static for 2 or 3 hours, and
go to bed and miss the beautiful sunrise.

I understand the EIRP limit for Canada (and presumably the U.S.) is 5 watts.

Hi Eddy,
If you get a grey square with a "coral" area above it, try scrolling up
above the coral. Clublog may have loaded above. If so, click on
Clublog "statistics" and you will probably find zeros on all items.
Apparently HK0NA will not be loaded until the main operation starts in a
week
Does anyone make a UHF connector for LMR-600? (to be used on 160m only).
