Thomas I expressed my opinion on the topic in a very cultured manner, based on facts and experience. But I was forced to respond to the insult of an inadequate person. So sorry. This isn't the worst thing. Here, sometimes rockets and drones fly above our heads.

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB
Hi JC, Thanks for the info on propagation. I am sure you are right, but we will be on a north facing beach, with not much chance for LP to anywhere. EU and NA East Coast will be very challenging, but that is why we do 160. I will be testing a new vertical antenna for 160 that meets USFWS requirement for a maximum height of 45 feet (13.7 m) and no top loading wires! I am fairly confident that it will work (with salt-water ground) but if necessary, I will extend the antenna to 65 feet and add top loading wires. It may be that we will be a bit weaker in the first few days. 73, George On Tue, 31 Oct 2023 15:51:19 -0400 wrote: Hi George During solar maximum the 160m propagation is different, sometimes a long path surprise us, but every 28 days there are a couple of good nights with good propagation.

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB
Jose, Will get something going, either from Ofu Island (part of the Manua group) or from the main island of American Samoa (Tutuila Island). The problem for any low band operation from the main island of American Samoa is geography. Only the south side of the the island is easily accessible, with very steep mountains to the north blocking the NA and EU directions. There are a couple of mountain tops that recent DXpeds used, but these places have no room for large antennas and are very noisy with a lot of MW, TV, FM, cell and other sites. I don't think anybody ever operated from the Manua Islands, as they are pretty remote, but they have much better locations for the low bands. (I have to go there to do survey for a dive operation.) On Ofu Island we may be able to set up on the beach on the north shore, which is open enough to the north to give us a chance to work EU on 160 meters. 80 should be easier. I know that conditions are poor but we got power and will use the salt-water for ground. Noise should not be a problem. Weather may be, however. As a fallback, I have also scouted out a beach on the north shore of the main island (Tutuila) and got permission form the land-owner, but that location is less open to the NE and the southern part of EU. If we have to set up there, that would be towards the end of November. I will post when we know for sure that we can set up on Ofu. Fingers crossed! 73, George, AA7JV On Tue, 31 Oct 2023 10:09:39 + zemurt...@mail.telepac.pt wrote: Hi George, Here KH8 is a most-wanted in both 160m and 80m... Hi! Can you try both for us?

I may have a chance to set up a 160 m station and operate for a few days. How much wanted is KH8 on TB? ClubLog indicates that it is quite rare at #30 on 160 m, but I find that hard to believe for a place recently activated by a number of groups.

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB
Hi George During solar maximum the 160m propagation is different, sometimes a long path surprise us, but every 28 days there are a couple of good nights with good propagation. We just never know, the best QSO of your life time could be any night on 160m, on any given month or any given year. 73;'s JC N4IS _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB
Clive, Point taken with a couple of buts. 1) Optimum time for me in AZ is my sunrise, which today is 13:40Z. My previous QSOs were at 13:25 and 13:30Z. At this time most of EU, NA and SA are in daylight, minimizing QRN and QRM. Your best opportunities are ~16:30Z; broad daylight for me and ~06:00Z, where all of NA and SA are dark, maximizing my QRN and QRM. 2) I would imagine that George, or any other DXpedition, wants to make contacts and not call CQ endlessly without answers, because the potential callers don't need a QSO. I would only call in that circumstance.

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB
KH8 is very much needed on 160. Pacific is always very difficult from way north in Europe. Even if it recently has been activated it hasn´t been possible to work it. Forexample the W8S exp (I know not KH8) was calling them for 45 minutes but since they had rotten receive due to local noise it was not possible. / Jim SM2EKM Den 2023-10-31 kl. 09:53, skrev GEORGE WALLNER: Hello TobBanders, I am in American Samoa (KH8) and will be in the Manua Islands, AH54 (OC-77), later this week.
