Hi JC
Well I agree that's it's much easier these days to work lots of new countries . . . but that's because a lot more countries are now allowed on 160m, and also because there are lots more DX-peditions. But when I talk about Propagation being poor compared to over 20 years ago, I'm talking about how much weaker signals have generally been on 160m. Actual signal strength on a calibrated S Meter. Lots of the same stations are still on the band . . . but rarely are they as strong as they used to be. (and I'm talking about at all parts of the Sunspot Cycle) 73 Roger G3YRO _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
