Tree, We are at a sunspot maximum? 10M sure as heck didn't get the memo.
There was a whole bunch more DX on 160 last nite than on 10 today! And that's fine by me!

Until a few nights ago - I still hadn't worked any Europoeans this season. That changed on Wednesday night when I got 4 Europeans in the log. I would have had another one on Thursday night - but my TX antenna had developed a water short in the control cable and was beaming south when I thought I was TXing to the north. Missed RA4LW. However, Vlad heard me on Friday morning when I figured out the problem and called him using my E/W direction. This morning, I worked OH3XR about an hour before sunrise. It's very unusual to work the morning opening during a sunspot maximum - but we'll keep trying and see how it pans out over the next couple of weeks. 73 Tree N6TR/7 Boring, OR _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - topband@contesting.com _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - topband@contesting.com
