Thanks for the report Sam I have been listening for you from Oregon but the propagation has been lousy so far this season. Hopefully conditions will change so we can hear you here on the WC. Rich K7ZV On Tue, November 4, 2014 1:36 pm, Saulius Zalnerauskas wrote: GE, Tonight I was on Top

Topband: 160 activity

I made a point when I was operating W1AW/8 to try to work 160 phone a few times. The QSO rate was low compared to 20, but I think I made a lot of people happy, at least based on the comments I got, and for a QSO party, I thought that was the point. A contest is a different kettle of fish
