Zone 18 is always a nice one to get hopefully zone 19 will pop up soon it's always one of the hardest to work due to lack of activity,

For the first time in several years the polar path to zone 18 was open for most US states, down to Central Florida. Propagation was most vertical and direct across the north pole. Get ready for more openings during November/ December. The DX season is here and very strong opening are possible every night. Use your fingers and call CQ on 160m. A receiving antenna beaming North will be very helpful for several years during the low part of the solar cycle. 73's JC -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roger Kennedy Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2017 5:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Topband: Good Conditions Last Night Really good to hear 160m in good shape last night! Worked nearly 40 stations on CW, including across to Arizona and several in Texas, most of whom answered my CQ DX calls. (might have worked more if I stayed on longer, but needed to get to bed!) Having said that, these conditions are what I would have considered just "normal" a few years ago. However, I take back my recent comments about the lack of activity.
