Re: Topband: Stew,

Top Band was alive down here in VK! Good to work a few of you at good signal strengths last night. (12:00Z). I have noticed the band is open to NA from VK around this time. Please keep an ear out for your antipodean Brethren! 73 Steve VK5 SFA _ Topband Reflector Archives -

Topband: 3DA0IJ and 3DA0CC on Clublog

Both 3DA0IJ and 3DA0CC have posted their logs on Clublog. The stats are interesting: 3DA0IJ 259 Qs on 160mx and 3DA0CC 168 for a total of 427 top band QSOs. They are both to be commended for sticking with their promise to concentrate on 160 when possible. Their ears will probably be ringing

I rarely get on SSB but there's a net of good folks on 1.850 that I do enjoy joining in with every so often. A couple days ago I was stunned to hear someone QRMing the frequency with childish comments. Again, I don't habit SSB much but I've never heard that kind of comments on 160 that I can

Ken, I second your comment commending Arunas and Ark for their efforts at C9 and 3DA0. Last night when they were on earlier at 1820.3, there was much QRM from the contest. If there was any prop to my QTH, their signal could not be detected. Later when Arunas came up on 1815.8, the contest

Let me see if I understand this. Someone is complaining that other ops are not upholding the concept of 160-Meters being the "gentleman's band", and that same person who is complaining uses cut letters for profanity and runs 2 kW? Joel, maybe both of us need to stay more up to date. See you in
