Re: Topband: Musings on multiple 160m QSOs

I agree as well. The problem for those chasing new ones is sometimes the fact that folks who already worked, confirmed the entity that was accepted by DXCC Desk are still calling and often stealing the chance from their fellow amateurs who need that DX. Generally they have the strongest

Anton, Almost all YBs on 160m are working FT8. Worked  YB1TJ, YB2DX, YF5RFU, YB9AY, YB1BA, YB4IR. The only CW QSO was in 2013 with YC0LOW (SK) Good luck >Среда, 8 января 2020, 20:17 +03:00 от Anton Moehammad via Topband >: >  >Hi All, >Just wondering if any of You recently (2019) have heard any

Re: Topband: Morning (W6 time) opening to European Russian today at ~1300Z during ARRL contest

Certainly the skip has favored Northern paths for the last several days. We worked three Alaska stations since Friday - NL7S and KL7J on FT8 and KL7SB on CW in the contest. With only one CW QSO in KL7KY in 2013 it was an amazing adventure. KL7 was a new one for Helen! Hawaii was not that easy

Re: Topband: FT-8 vs CW

Just a short story for this FT-8 vs CW/SSB discussion. We, with Helen UR5WA, have been waiting for QSL card from VR2XAN for 160m QSOs in CQWWCW 2017. Two direct requests both with IRC and $$$ have been sent but no answer. Tried some Italian assistance - same result. So the obvious decision was to

Re: Topband: Lack of NA Activity on CW

This is not always the case. I have noticed long openings to Caribbean during last year 6m season with signal levels good enough for reliable CW QSOs but only FT8 portion of the band was alive. Will see what will happen this year. Top band game is almost over with the last 3 new ones worked in

Re: Topband: finding a site for greyline sunrise/sunset times

The special site or software are not needed. The contest loggers,, TR4W in our case, show the SR/SS times after the prefix is typed into the callsogn window. For sure most of the general QSO loggers have this option. CU on topband, >Четверг, 28 февраля 2019, 23:21 UTC от terry burge : > >Hi

The problem of pile-up distribution is even more complex since there will be four simultaneous African DXPeditions 3C, TJ, TN and TY. Therefore some coordination between team leaders is needed. The good example of almost perfect solution was VK0/FT4J case. >Понедельник, 12 марта 2018, 18:22

Re: Topband: FT8 - the end of 160m old school DXing? (long)

JT modes were originally designed for VHF (59 MHz and up). No reason to use them on HF and especially on Top Band. We will not pay attention to those playing the childish FT8 toys on HF. 3C0L showed us the proper way. >Среда, 25 октября 2017, 11:55 UTC от Mirosław Paczocha : > >Hi,

HI Stein, What my good old friend Saulius wants to say is that there's no chance to work TZ4AM from here in Central Europe unless one has 10 kW and at least full size vertical. I'm personally not paying attention to both RBN and cluster 160m TZ4AM spots anymore. On the other hand, we have

Re: Topband: Top Band and JT65

Wrong. Both in SSB and AM cases the operator's skills and abilities are involved. Even more of those are needed on CW. On those JT modes an operator is just a computer accessory. >Воскресенье, 14 мая 2017, 5:41 +03:00 от Mike va3mw < va...@portcredit.net >: > >JT9 vs JT65 over CW > >The same
