What a great way to honor your team member. Your 160m team has been around
longer than I thought, congratulations. A half century ago N2AA was one of
the most recognizable contest callsigns. Good luck in the CQ 160m contest!

This weekend, the Team will honor Gene's memory by using his call N2AA during
the 2022 CQ160 CW (instead of W2GD).

Hello Top Band enthusiasts.
This year we had extreme QRN for most of the contest, throughout
Australia, so when signals were workable, it was still almost impossible
to make qso's.
We only had good prop to JA and USA / VE / Europe was almost non

I made 138 contacts in two days with my little squirt gun station here.
The highlight for me was KH6LE my first KH6 contact on 160.. thanks Lloyd.
Few other highlights were TA1K P40AA LX7I C6AGU PJ4P…
Heard and tried to work some EU stations but could not be heard.
I was running 500 to 800 watts
I did about 10 hours of the contest from DM12. Ended up with ~4000
points better than last year. A few 6s, a single 8, but no KH/KL or EU
stations. Worked pretty much all of VEs but one special was VO2AC,
best DX PJ2T, with a CO2 not too far behind. Was hoping to find D4C
but no luck. TX antenna is
I agree that conditions were a long way from being ideal. Friday was less
ideal than Saturday. However, from here in Virginia I managed to work 20

You are correct. I am 425 miles from the ocean. As DF2 PY would like to say- I

I found it very effective to "spread up". When conditions to EU were really

During contest when the band is full with CQ machines I used to listen
below 1810 to check out conditions. There are always stations active and
as that part is always clear it is very useful to check if I can hear NA.
It would be very effective to work split around 1810.

For that reason we missed several stations which did not tuned up over
