Re: Topband: 160M Conditions - CQWW
Many poor operators in Europe do not respect an area CQ, especially on CW. On SSB Many poor operators in Europe wont even respect a DX station when he calls for a specific prefix or suffix, why would they respect an area CQ ?

Re: Topband: 160M conditions CQWW
Indeed ,conditions were not good. But KL7RA suddenly appeared at my sunrise and I logged KG7CW from ID for a new state 15 minutes later. (only SD needed) TB is always a challenge :) 73 Pat ON7PQ . -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Topband [mailto:topband-boun...@contesting.com] Namens Doug Turnbull Verzonden: maandag 28 januari 2019 22:15 Aan: topband@contesting.com Onderwerp: Topband: 160M conditions CQWW Dear OMs and YLs, Just because you make many Qs within NA on your own continent does not make conditions good.For the vast majority of people reporting to 3830 Friday night's conditions following a solar storm were "Stinko" with poor propagation between EU and NA. Saturday night was considerably improved but not wonderful. You can hear plenty of good AM stations in the daytime but not much DX - the absorption is too high. My understanding is though that at least electrical storm noise was minimum in NA for the weekend. 73 Doug EI2CN _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
