Roger, Just to add some perspective from Western NA, the 160m conditions have been absolutely horrible for the last month. The goe-magnetic activity and AU levels have been so high that the trans-polar path to Europe has been shut down completely for 5 weeks, except for one evening.
Perhaps working into East coast and even mid-west NA from EU has been possible lately, but any path transiting close to the pole has been shut down. This season up until late January I have worked over 1,400 EU on 160m CW since August. Usually working 20-30 each evening. I check the band almost every night and watch the RBN. Since late January, the band has been slammed shut at my northern latitude. 73, de steve ve6wz From Babcocks iPhone > On Mar 26, 2021, at 3:05 PM, Roger Kennedy <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Quite a lot of us Europeans come on the band each night calling CQ DX . . . > but getting very few replies. > > According to RBN reports, DX Propagation across the pond seems reasonable . > . . > > So is it just that there are very few American stations coming on 160 these > days? > > Roger G3YRO > > _________________ > Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
