During last few days/weeks I see a dramatic difference of DXpropagation in 80m vs. 160m band. On 80m I worked US states CA and WA during US SS contest while no one US station can be really heard on TopBand. This difference appears in a gap of frequency of about 1,7 Mhz only.
I assume, the smaller the gap the smaller the difference in DXpropagation. My question is: why all intercontinental DX happens at the band edge of 1.8 MHz instead of the "faster" band edge at 2.0 MHz to get closer to the "good DXprop range" ? One possible reason I see is DX window to JA. I would like to check DXprop between US <=> EU at TopBands both edges to compare in practice. Any comments ? 73 de Thomas, DL1AMQ > Gesendet: Samstag, 05.
