Topband: Summer, but 160 ain't dead
During the last 15 mins or so of CWT, stations worked on 160 included: on the east G4UFK, not in test. on the west N6RO Western RBN's VE7CC, VE6WZ, NC7J, east spot (not RBN) ON7PQ. Don't sound like a dead band to me. Some number of signals were better than 20 over. If you're starved for 160 time, get a CWOPS number and show up on 160 the last 15 minutes of the 0300-0400Z segment (Wednesday nights US local time, Thursday AM Zulu.) Exchange is name and CWOPS number or name and state without one. Activity is generally 1827.5 and up Get to play around a little bit. Work on stuff and test it out, etc. 73, Guy K2AV CWOPS 1671 _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Re: Topband: BUG (beverage underground)
Thanks for the giggle Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone Original message From: N7DF via Topband Date: 6/8/18 11:35 AM (GMT-08:00) To: topband@contesting.com Subject: Topband: BUG (beverage underground) I recently had a 250 foot deep test well drilled near my hamshack and the well was powder dry all the way down so rather than waste a perfectly good hole in the ground I dropped a wire down it all the way to the bottom and hooked it up to my receiver it was totally quiet of powerline noise while my above ground beverage had a 3 Db noise The BUG did not pick up any radio signals either but you cannot have everything _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

Re: Topband: NEW CALL for WA8WZG
The FCC Stopped mailing out "paper" licenses over a year ago. You can do to their website and print a copy if needed. 73 Joel W5ZN On Wed, July 11, 2018 10:23 am, Rob Atkinson wrote: >> Finally I get an email from the FCC this morning , I won a lottery!! >> > > FB on the new call, but is this all you get?
