Topband: Speaking of noises...

Does anyone know the source of periodic wideband buzzes that sound like this: buzzz..buzzz..buzzz..buzzz (i.e. 4X then pause) buz..buz..buz (3X ~10 dB down). I believe this may be some sort of ionospheric sounder but I've heard this for decades, including when I was in Colorado. Hopefully

Re: Topband: Wednesday 160m DX Activity Night

Roger, For me the change was on Saturday.  I thought conditions were much better on Friday night / Saturday morning, then they were Saturday night Sunday morning.  Only speaking for my station, since then signals from EU have not been as strong as they were on Friday night / Saturday morning.

Topband: Wednesday 160m DX Activity Night
