Don't talk nonsense. For example TX5S expedition. We in Lithuania had only 2 openings, very short. And nobody did a single QSO on 160m. Only me and another one LY called them for a 5-7 minutes, when they were visible on a screens. But very bad what was long list of callers, and propagation ended. I AM SURE 100% WHAT WE WERE IN THIS LIST (QUEUE), not many stations have good RX/TX antenna's in LY on 160m. https://clublog.org/charts/?c=TX5S#r > > > So friends, we should be happy and not nervous :-))) > > So be happy, don't nervous. Waiting for FW8GC/TX8GC on Top band . I also not like FT8, but ARRL dudies like, so take it easy and not explain.
