Re: Topband: TX5T
Hello, Nothing here, good signals on 80 but nothing on Top Band. Too early in the seasons for western Europe. Shall see next days ! Jean-Paul / F6FYA.

Re: Topband: 160m DX Activity Night
Hello to All of you, For me, you can call me any time when you want ! I Will be very pleased to answer, to say "hello" and to know how is my new signal report at your station ! Will be this week end, not on top band, for the french contest as TM5OTT for "Old Timer's Team". Best 73. Jean-Paul, F6FYA.

Message d'origine De: Tom Boucher Envoyé: jeudi 22 février 2018 10:29 À: topband@contesting.com Objet: Topband: 160m DX Activity Night Just to say that I wholeheartedly endorse Roger’s comments on repeat 160 metre contacts. We are not all certificate hunters and many are only too happy to rag-chew. In 58 years on top band, I have no idea of my DXCC score but it’s quite a few. So please Mark K3MSB and all you others who are frightened of answering CQs from someone you may have worked before, if you hear us on please give us a shout even if just for old times sake! Don’s (WD8DSB) experience is very sad and the other guy must be a complete moron. How long does it take for a minimal QSO, RST + name? I’m not sure I can climb out of the sack at Z or 0300Z on a Wednesday though Roger! 73, Tom G3OLB _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Re: Topband: Conditions on 160m for ARRL Contest
I'm a New member of the "Topband list" I agree with Roger for the QRM at the bottom of the band. I don't know what they are, fishnet or beacons, but it's getting very hard to call CQ on this part of the band. By the way, for me in the central west part of France, conditions was much better friday night. Working with vertical ant, 21 m, and beverage. So, sorry with my poor english, but a pleasure to read differents messages from the list's members. Jean-Paul / F6FYA.

Message d'origine De: Roger Kennedy Envoyé: lundi 19 février 2018 14:34 À: topband@contesting.com Objet: Topband: Conditions on 160m for ARRL Contest Well on Friday night I couldn't hear one single American station . . . even though I heard a couple of Southern Europe stations working a few. Saturday night conditions were better, but signals were well down on what they have been for the past few weeks. However, in the 3 hours I spent on the band (at different times in the night) I did manage to work 61 American stations . . . including a few in Brazil and the Caribbean. For future reference, here in Britain there are about 6 Navigation Beacons between 1810 and 1818 kHz (they sound like the old Decca HiFix) . . . these make copying weak signals VERY difficult, so a good idea to avoid this part of the band !
