Well to me conditions are good if the DX stations that will peak over S9 are
that strong . . . if they are S5-6 then conditions are poor, and if they are
very weak or not there at all, then conditions are bad.
The same goes when looking at my own RBN reports . . . if I am 30dB above
the noise
Did work an F5 last night, 0445z on 160m FT8.
Have not heard EU on CW lately, but only briefly tune 160m.

Roger,
It is a matter of definition of what you call Good conditions.
To me the average conditions are if I hear eastern states in the VE1,
VE2, W1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 call areas..
Conditions are good when I also hear VE3, W0, W4, W5.
Conditions are very good if I can hear all of North America.
I heard OK1CF calling CQ. Karel was a real 599. He came back and gave me
599+.
Later, OM2WX called with a very solid signal. A couple of other weak EU
stations later, but I had to go on watch and could not continue.
QTH: Abut 30 miles from Cocos Island (TI9), in EJ65.

Sorry I couldn't copy you calling me last night Guy . . . I've still got
this local noise problem (OFCOM back again next week, so keep hoping they
will shut the source down)
I popped on a couple of times last night . . . but didn't stay on long. as
reports from RBN stations were very poor !
Amazing 10 and 15 meters in ARRL DX. Also...
2340Z 22 Feb 2023. G3YRO heard at 1.827.0 and copied call 339. Called but
no joy. He might have heard me, but no two-way. No QRN, blizzard in most of
US.
We just assume that 160 is *dead* when 10 is wide open. 160 ain't dead, but
not sure what it is.

Du1, RU0, JA, 9M6, etc. The signals were from S1 to S9. Some I thought
were Stateside until I heard their call sign.
The 160 season is not over yet. In
