Re: Topband: Stew Perry conditions noisy. Heard no EU here in Ohio.
Rate decent. Activity moderate during the evening hours I was on. Did work KH6, PJ2T and ZF. Not so much into 6/7/0 land. QRN was an issue. Jumped in around 0300z but heard no EU. Tried again pre SR 0900z but that was a slow go. Finished with 110 Qs in 3 hrs with 76 unique GS's. in 5 dx entities. Next time, need to get in there at the start. - _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Topband: Stew Perry conditions
Hi The situation in the south of zone 16 was very difficult. Already 23:20 utc - I can't hear radio stations from the USA . It's almost a disaster... But still the process has begun ! The first one in my magazine was W1UE. Many signals were very weak + QSB, QSB .. But I am very pleased - super contest. -- Nick, UY0ZG http://www.topband.in.ua _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Topband: Stew Perry conditions
Conditions were marginal. I only worked the regulars which I work all year round also during solar maximum. NA only east coast, to Texas and Carribean, but nothing above that line. To the east I heard some JA but not strong enough to make a QSO. HL5IVL had a big pile up but I did not try. 13 points to Asia was best Dx to the east, 16 points best distance to the west. Hopefully the CQ 160 will be better. 73 Henk PA5KT _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Topband: Stew Perry Conditions
Well conditions weren't particularly good . . . but they were OK. I came on for about an hour from 0100Z, and for another hour at 0500Z. Managed to work a total of 56 NA stations, including across to Louisiana, Texas, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Mexico. I was generally pretty pleased with how I was getting out, as most stations came back first call, and I worked every DX station I heard. 73 Roger G3YRO _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
