I know you guys in North America have a lot of Lightning & Static problems in the summer . . . but surely that's all gone now?
If so, why is there so little activity on CW from NA on Top Band? Every night there's usually a load of us Europeans on from your Sunset time, calling CQ DX. The band is clearly open, from the RBN signal reports . . . but I'll often come on for at least an hour, and lucky if I have 3 or 4 QSOs ! And even then, it tends to be none of the big signals. What makes it even more frustrating is that there's usually LOADS of people posting FT8 contacts on the 160m DX Cluster . . . but very few proper CW Stations !
