I have not been on 160 Meters much this winter season. I am a 6 Meter operator
and that is where I spend my most of my time.
I got on 160 Meters this morning to try for TX5S. But my main 160 antenna is
down. I loaded up the rain gutter on our home, added a 40 foot extension wire
over to a
Thank you for the information. :-)

No, they are not, but there's no reason I know of that would prevent RBN
spots from being carried on any other network - they are distributed to
the "wholesale market" (not end users please) on Telnet.

Hi Mike,
As far as I know the RBN receivers are not related at all to the websdr.com

Hello Don es Roger,
Can I assume these RBN SDRs are also on websdr.com? If so, which ones? That
is, what are they called, so we can listen to the right ones?
I no longer have any antennas.

Hi Roger,
I know 3 RBN reporting receivers located in New Hampshire use very good RX
antennas and they are as follows based on 2020 information I obtained from
the owner of these receivers.
200m-long Beverage to EU
23' high active Hi-Z vertical
So yes, very good RX antennas on some of the East
Fine about the RBN Receiving Sites further West . . . I wondered if that was
the case.
I guess the East Coast US RBN stations that give us Europeans really good
reports - more than 30dB above the noise when the band is open - must also
have good receiving antennas.
However . . . conditions
George is correct.
I worked TX5S on 80m CW roughly this time yesterday..maybe + 1.5 - 2
hours..and well before SS on Clipperton.
EY8MM was the (uFB) op.
He sure wasn't vy loud, but was working them at 36-37wpm and 2-3-4 per
minute all along the East Coast of the USA and CDN Maritimes.
On RBN Sensitivity/Antennas:
Whenever I CQ-d from any of our Pacific operations -- FO/M, FO, VP6A, E51D,
KH8, KH8S -- I always had the RBN screen on. Most of the time I would be
working stations in the mid-west, or even the East Coast, before the first
RBN report would pop up, if at all. As

I must admit I used to work stations in Florida all the time (even on SSB) .

Well I've been popping on at odd times over the past couple of weeks . . .
But propagation on 160m across the pond has nearly always been really poor .

stations have been typically over 20dB down on normal.
Anyway, Happy
Conditions have certainly been good across the Atlantic. Last evening here
VO1HP was 579 at 1900 UTC although he was not hearing me. Also I have never
heard so many W Coast NA as during the last few weeks.

Hi Steve,

Sure, but you worked hard for it. The station you built is the enabler,
more than the conditions, I think.

DX conditions and CW activity from VE6 has been excellent so far this season on
160m.
I did a log .csv export and a few pivot table runs on the VE6WZ log from
September till December 18.
This season stats for the 4 months so far,
AF / EU- 982 QSOs, 360 unique calls, 44 DXCC
AS- 294 QSO’s, 194

Roger,
Last night you had a very solid signal (579) on qsb peaks but you could not
copy my calling.
Here at Ve6wz conditions were excellent last night into EU. I worked 46 EU,
some with exceptionally strong signals. Solar

I worked a few stations on FT8 in Colorado and the PJ7. I did not hear
too much on CW when I listened.
Nice to see the band open at least for a bit to EU!

Here, I was running 1500W into a 26m vertical (w/top capacity hat) and
sixty 1/4-wave radials. Listening on 720 ft beverage.

Managed to work a number of stations, including Texas, Arizona, Colorado,
