I thought 160 Meters was the Gentleman's band? Some of you need to take a deep breath and relax. Surely you have more important things in your lives? Jeff knows he has an RX problem and he's working on it. What more can he do? Topband is difficult and frustrating from many locations. A

HI Stein, What my good old friend Saulius wants to say is that there's no chance to work TZ4AM from here in Central Europe unless one has 10 kW and at least full size vertical. I'm personally not paying attention to both RBN and cluster 160m TZ4AM spots anymore. On the other hand, we have

Hi LY5W, Try go to africa and join the QRN! I been in africa twice on dxped, also in pacific. Not all spots had less than S8-s9+20 dbs noise level from time to time. I also operated 160m and experienced signals «skipping» over a distance.. so he migth have wrong skip!! Best Regards,

Hi Sam (LY5W), Check out the QRZ page for TZ4AM for info on equipment (including antennas). Don (wd8dsb) On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 7:01 AM, Saulius Zalnerauskas wrote: > They think what I am wrong. But true - TZ4AM no copy 99% stations. > Wonder what trcvr he is using and

They think what I am wrong. But true - TZ4AM no copy 99% stations. Wonder what trcvr he is using and other RX ? Sam LY5W On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 12:05 PM, Victor Goncharsky wrote: > Raoul, > Tonight there was the usual TZ4AM's multi CQ with no response. Made a few > calls as need

Re: Topband: TZ4AM

Raoul, Tonight there was the usual TZ4AM's multi CQ with no response. Made a few calls as need TZ on top but no answer. At the moment running 900w and 27.5m top hat vertical so barefoot/dipole is not the case here. Never had problems working that part of Africa, the only one missed last year

Re: Topband: TZ4AM

Yes Raoul, 160 meters is a competitive band. Not just competing with each other, but with varying conditions, Usually a small/poor transmit antenna needs a large radial field to get a good low angle signal out. Local Noise: Years ago I had a very strong background noise, that turned out

Re: Topband: TZ4AM

I agree! And not everybody have space for good RX antennas.And even if we can install a good RX antenna in limited space, cheap Chinese products are making it worse, it  is a struggle to hear anything. The other problem is, I use at least 600 watts on 160m, and some EUs try to work you with a

Re: Topband: TZ4AM

Africa is a high noise location. Jeff is working on his antennas, Meanwhile giving as many contacts as he can copy. As his receive antennas improve, hope you find yourself in his log. 73 Bruce-k1fz On Sat, 14 Oct 2017 03:23:54 +0300, Saulius Zalnerauskas wrote: But no copy as always.

Jeff, TZ4AM hopes to be on 160 meters tonight around 0300 UTC. He likes ~ 1826.5, 1827.5 and usually operates split. Band Conditions are not good but hope for an improvement. 73 Bruce-k1fz . _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
