Hi
Some video and sound:
http://www.topband.in.ua/2023/11/27/uy0zg-in-cq-ww-cw-2023-so-160-m/
On Sunday evening the east came to life. Had a great QSO with 4W8X.
Unfortunately, the power went out at 18:30 UTC. A strong hurricane with
snow began.
Thanks to everyone who called and answered. I
Funnily enough, conditions didn't seem so good last night for me . . .
NA Signals were weaker, and I only worked another 8 stations . . . so didn't
stay on long.

Hi
The second night was much better - 29 more stations from NA were added
to my log.
This is with indicator A=38...

Hi
The first night is weak. I have seven QSOs with the USA and one with
Canada.
Well I came on around 00.30Z . . . could only just copy a couple of NA
stations through the EU QRM, as they were pretty weak.
But when I came back on around 05.30Z, signals had picked up. Found 8 NA
stations calling CQ, so having worked them I thought I'd try calling CQ NA.
Apart from a few EU
Hi

him for a long time.

Well 160m DX conditions were pretty good all week, so I was looking forward
to working lots of NA stations in the contest.
However, we had a HUGE storm here in the north of England - 100mph winds
(worse I have ever known). So I came on at Z, and checked the VSWR on
my 160m antenna . . . sur
Next few years might be full of such stuff. Time to figure out our 160m
maxi-plans.

Interesting observation Guy. I noticed what I am almost certain was very high
angle propagation on Sunday evening at sunset when I was only able to hear
Europe on my low dipole (very low, about 20' so a real cloud warmer). I could
not hear them at all on Beverages, SAL, or receive 4 square or tr
I decided to do 160 SOSB HPas that is where I have best lowband antenna
these days. I found condx on first evening strange in that Eu signals
were very strong on my BOG but very hard to work. USA signals were very

East Coast of Australia was smashed by thunderstorms all weekend, and I
disconnected my antennas.
My usual experience of Top Band on contest weekends, is that it just becomes
very difficult to work any DX.

Very poor from Colorado. 80 and 40 were not what I would call great
either. I did snag 9m6 for a new on on 80 well after my SR on Sunday.
I woke up early and thought I would have great fun on the lowbands. I
mostly got cqed in my face by BY's on 40 and the UP0L and the HS
stations. Next

Quite surprised at the negative comments on 160m conditions this last weekend,
as I found them excellent to Europe, particularly on Sunday morning. I worked
over 200 which is a lot more than I have ever managed before. Really long haul
conditions were however non-existent - P3 was the only Asia
I did not long stay on 160m as conditions did not seem very good.
Heard JA3YBK on saturday evening, but heavy pile up.
Worked some zone 5 and 4and some Caribbean.
I just had my inv L up on Friday. It has 2 radials. All temporary setup
till the rework of the garden is finished.

I worked 123 US stations on topband over the weekend, including Gary KA1J
(thanks!) and a couple in Zone 3. However, I think conditions were not
great and it seemed on several occasions that the US stations were hearing
EU better than we could hear
Trevor,.
I was calling and calling many EU stations and they would uniformly come
back calling CQ right in my face both evenings. I was running 1500 watts
into a vertical with 125 radials. I seemed to hear just fine, but no one
across the pond could hear me. I quit in disgust on Friday evening
I worked G4IIY at about 03Z on Sunday morning. Ian was one of the most
consistent signals CQing and heard from my end (nice job Ian). However - no
one from EU was strong. A few of the Carib and Zone 33 stations were strong
some of the time but even then not frequently.

or went to another call. Odd
I found conditions very poor and even on 80 no EU heard at my station in San
Jose, California.

Hi All
First time to give 160 a good go during CQ WW and I was surprised how few NA
stations I heard,
I feel I was active at the right time 03-08utc but apart from VO1HP K3LR and
W3LPL I don't think I worked a half a dozen more, worked some Caribbean
stations as well I don't have a contest win
