There were very few NA stations audible at my SS on the first evening, although I just managed to scrape a Q with VY2ZM. On the second SS there was nothing at all audible, which is almost unheard of for this test. 73, Greg, ZL3IX _ Searchable Archives:

: CQWW a bust this year Compare to recent weeks conditions were marginal during CQWW. Only two Zone 4 stations were audible here and it took long time to work them. Whereas a week ago band was wide open from MI, IL to CO or even down to TX. I worked only mults and Dx's this time. Only 13 stations

Hi Dave, I totally agree with your 160 meters condition report for CQWW this past weekend. I operated slightly less than 2 hours since conditions were so poor, and signals out of Europe were indeed very weak here in the midwest US. See you during the ARRL 160, and it should be fun as usual

Conditions certainly didn't favor 160 over the weekend CQWW contest here in Florida at least. Looking back in 2019 I worked 50 countries on 160 during CQWW, this year it was only 17, only 3 Europeans and those were very weak. I'm sure the lack of expeditions due to CV-19 played a part but on
