Topband: North American Activity

DX propagation continues to be pretty good on 160m . . . as indicated by RBN reports, and the odd QSO. But despite quite a lot of us Europeans coming on the band most nights, there seems to be very little response from NA stations. Maybe there will be more activity tonight . . . 73 Roger

About 0300Z (11PM local time) the only station I heard was TZ4AM.  I couldn't stay on longer as I have to get up around 0730Z (3:30AM local time). 73, Larry W6NWS On 11/2/2017 5:43 AM, Roger Kennedy wrote: Well as our Sunrise seems to be too late in the night for many people, I came on at

HI Roger, I see that you were spotted by 4 RBN stations in the Eastern part of the US (MA, MD, NH, and PA), and nothing West of that. As Mike (N2MS) said, 0400 UTC is very late in the evening for working folks that live in the East Coast or Midwest USA as 0400 UTC is currently midnight local

Well as our Sunrise seems to be too late in the night for many people, I came on at 0400 last night . . . surely that's not too late over there? The band was clearly open (got a +48dB RBN report from W1NT) . . . but only had ONE DX QSO ! There were 3 other Europeans calling CQ DX too . . .

Roger, That is late evening/early morning in the North America. I'm fast asleep on weekdays since I have to get up for work. I try to operate during your sunrise on Friday and Saturday nights when I remind myself to take a nap during the day. Not as young as I used to be... Mike N2MS > On

A lot of us are either regaining sleep after CQ WW Phone, AND/OR we spent most of the night listening to the 3C1L pileups :-) Tim N3QE On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 6:15 AM, Roger Kennedy < ro...@wessexproductions.co.uk> wrote: > > There are usually several of us Europeans on at around our Sunrise

Topband: No American activity

There are usually several of us Europeans on at around our Sunrise (about 0630Z) . . . But even though the band is open (as you can see on RBN), no stations about to work ! Roger G3YRO _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
