Topband: DX conditions and activity.

Hi Steve, >>73, es lets hope the great conditions persist! Sure, but you worked hard for it. The station you built is the enabler, more than the conditions, I think. 73 de Vince, VA3VF _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Topband: Temporary antenna suggestion for 160.

Frank, >>I have no plans to replace my 30,000 feet of radials... I'm a 'metric' guy. If my faltering brain is still functional, this is close to 10 km. All for a 160M antenna? I just placed an order for 200 ft of wire. Even with the 50% off special, I cannot imagine the 'bill' for 30,000

Hi Dave, I remember K5IU's article well. I have no doubt such a system can be made to work well. However, I have no plans to replace my 30,000 feet of radials with elevated radials... Thanks 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "Artek Manuals" To:

The sky was all green and purple from south west to north last night due to aurora. Magnetometer in KP07 swinging wildly. No NA stations heard (or worked) on 160m at this QTH. 73 Peter SM2CEW At 20:49 2019-12-19, Roger Kennedy wrote: Well I spent a few hours on the band calling CQ last

Well I spent a few hours on the band calling CQ last night, but only had a couple of QSOs. There were several other EU stations doing the same, and again not getting replies. Not sure if it was just poor conditions or lack of activity? (although my QSO and RBN reports were OK) 73 Roger G3YRO
