I forgot the contest was on. I came on around 0630 UTC, called CQ and was called shortly after by KL7SB, who was 599 here. It was good to work a few more NA around our SR, including VE6WZ who was peaking a staggering 15db over nine.
Good to see that weekend contests still generate lots of activity, always including a few new ones on topband. 73, Ian G4iiY -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:topband-bounces+zen90387=zen.co...@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Roger Kennedy Sent: 18 October 2020 17:21 To: topband@contesting.com Subject: Topband: Conditions for Stew Perry Contest I came on for a couple of hours last night in the Contest, but conditions were strange. >From 00.30Z all signals were quite weak, including Europeans. Then from around 03.00Z signals started to pick up . . . although not fantastic. Popped on again at 05.30Z but signals had virtually disappeared ! Surprised that a lot of the Big Gun stations didn't seem to be on . . . however, I did manage to work 35 NA stations.
