I know a lot of you guys in North America are complaining that you are already getting a lot of QRN on the band, so aren't coming on . . .
I guess we're pretty lucky here in Britain, as we only usually get thunderstorms in August . . . and even then, only for a handful of nights, so we don't get too many problems with static. But I just wanted to let you know that there are still quite a lot of us Europeans on 160m CW every night, looking for DX contacts . . . but most of us are calling CQ DX for ages, and lucky if we have more than 2 or 3 QSOs. However, propagation is still pretty good (I managed an S7 report from Texas last night), so if your noise level isn't too bad, hope a few more stations might make it on the band ! 73 Roger G3YRO _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
