Topband: CQ WW CW

Hi Some video and sound: http://www.topband.in.ua/2023/11/27/uy0zg-in-cq-ww-cw-2023-so-160-m/ On Sunday evening the east came to life. Had a great QSO with 4W8X. Unfortunately, the power went out at 18:30 UTC. A strong hurricane with snow began. Thanks to everyone who called and answered.

Funnily enough, conditions didn't seem so good last night for me . . . NA Signals were weaker, and I only worked another 8 stations . . . so didn't stay on long. Roger G3YRO _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Well I came on around 00.30Z . . . could only just copy a couple of NA stations through the EU QRM, as they were pretty weak. But when I came back on around 05.30Z, signals had picked up. Found 8 NA stations calling CQ, so having worked them I thought I'd try calling CQ NA. Apart from a few EU

Topband: CQ WW CW

Well 160m DX conditions were pretty good all week, so I was looking forward to working lots of NA stations in the contest. However, we had a HUGE storm here in the north of England - 100mph winds (worse I have ever known). So I came on at Z, and checked the VSWR on my 160m antenna . . .

Next few years might be full of such stuff. Time to figure out our 160m maxi-plans. 73, Guy. On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 4:58 PM, Roger Parsons wrote: > Interesting observation Guy. I noticed what I am almost certain was very > high angle propagation on Sunday evening at sunset

Interesting observation Guy. I noticed what I am almost certain was very high angle propagation on Sunday evening at sunset when I was only able to hear Europe on my low dipole (very low, about 20' so a real cloud warmer). I could not hear them at all on Beverages, SAL, or receive 4 square or

Re: Topband: CQ WW CW 160m observations

I decided to do 160 SOSB HPas that is where I have best lowband antenna these days. I found condx on first evening strange in that Eu signals were very strong on my BOG but very hard to work. USA signals were very weak on the BOG but when I would switch to the "L" most W/K became Q5but

Re: Topband: CQ WW CW 160m observations

East Coast of Australia was smashed by thunderstorms all weekend, and I disconnected my antennas. My usual experience of Top Band on contest weekends, is that it just becomes very difficult to work any DX. Luke VK3HJ _ Topband Reflector Archives -

Re: Topband: CQ WW CW 160m observations

 Very poor from Colorado.  80 and 40 were not what I would call great either.  I did snag 9m6 for a new on on 80 well after my SR on Sunday.  I woke up early and thought I would have great fun on the lowbands.  I mostly got cqed in my face by BY's on 40 and the UP0L and the HS stations.   Next

Trevor,. I was calling and calling many EU stations and they would uniformly come back calling CQ right in my face both evenings. I was running 1500 watts into a vertical with 125 radials. I seemed to hear just fine, but no one across the pond could hear me. I quit in disgust on Friday

Re: Topband: CQ WW CW 160m observations

I worked G4IIY at about 03Z on Sunday morning. Ian was one of the most consistent signals CQing and heard from my end (nice job Ian). However - no one from EU was strong. A few of the Carib and Zone 33 stations were strong some of the time but even then not frequently. I worked EI9E around

Trevor I popped on a few times on 160 over the contest weekend . . . but agree, conditions were rather poor . . . I worked pretty much the same NA stations as you. I actually heard quite a few more US stations, but it was when they were calling other Europeans (who often didn't hear them) . . .

Hi All First time to give 160 a good go during CQ WW and I was surprised how few NA stations I heard, I feel I was active at the right time 03-08utc but apart from VO1HP K3LR and W3LPL I don't think I worked a half a dozen more, worked some Caribbean stations as well I don't have a contest
