Good Morning fellow Topbanders,

Good Morning fellow Topbanders,
To say that it was absolutely fantastic to meet my fellow Topband Friends ( and
Legends!! ) of the Topband fraternity would be the understatement of the year!!
I thoroughly enjoyed each and every conversation, handshake, and "eyeball" QSO
with each of you.

This enhancement also happened in SW Ontario. I was also LP ( unassisted ) so

Back in 2017 I put up a 160M Inverted V with the apex at about 35' and the ends
at 8' with the only goal being to try inband SO2R on 160M. My reasoning was the

Hi Shelby,
The exact same thing happened to me. However on a later update both the 160 CW
and FT8 QSOs were in the log.

Hi Jerry and group,
I was one of those stations Jerry. I worked you at 1712z and 1717z on
2008-01-05. I was running 100 watts and the distance was 1200km. We gave each
other 549 reports IIRC ( from my log ).
I was on for about 7 days at or just after local noon here doing tests and I

Hi Gary 'et al'
Don't feel too bad. I haven't missed a V8 SS yet and only this morning did I
hear them for about 10 sec on 80 at 219 and then I heard them briefly at 109/
ESP on 160 a bit later on. There were no Pre, Post, or Post Post SR peaks here
yet. ( FYI There is no common darkness here
A friend of mine ( who to this day knows absolutely nothing about radio,
propagation or especially antennas ) and I worked together about 30 years ago
and when he found out I was doing radio he immediately said " Do you know

Seeing as I have had my Inverted L ( 85' / 27M vertical ) against my tree's
trunk ( actually touching it - oops ) since I installed it, and as I also have
tress in the elbow, I may have to try and move it out some after reading all

I put up a 1/2 wave Inverted V ( each leg is about 140' ) for 160M in January
of this year just so I could do inband SO2R in the CQ160 CW contest. It has its
apex at 40' and the ends are at 5'. I would have been very happy to just work
any East coast stations during the contest but I found that
