Roger,
It is a matter of definition of what you call Good conditions.
To me the average conditions are if I hear eastern states in the VE1,
VE2, W1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 call areas..
Conditions are good when I also hear VE3, W0, W4, W5.
Conditions are very good if I can hear all of North America.

I worked 23 NA and 3 Carribean.
Of the 3 Caribbean at least 1 was still copieable 1 hour after my sunrise.
When I started for the morning sessions at 03:30 only the Carribeans had
a good signal.
An hour later it went better, but mostly east coast.
Best distance to USA was 15 points, best to
Hi,
I have a receiver running with FST4 on 160m.
Dial is on 1839.
I dont like digital (or SSB) qso's so will be receive only.
If I use my equipment for CW it will be switched off.

It is USB, so that signal will be on 1841 kHz.

You guys feed audio into an SSB rig for these Computer modes, right?
So which sideband do you use on Top Band?
IE if you are on 1840kHz with a 1kHz tone, are you on 1839 or 1841?

I had the 18m spiderpole and now I am using the 22m spiderpole.
It is guyed with 4x2 guys.
It is a stable mast. I raise it by hand by extending the tubes one by one.
I would not place the mast over another tube. The tubes cannot handle
force from inside.

That is because for some people it can be useful information if they
want to make contacts.
What is DX or not is up for the listener.
There is nothing different then with CW spots.
