Hello Wes et al, There are plenty of successful Topbans stations from Florida - N4WW, N4IS and I believe NN4X just to mention a few.
Over my 40 plus years on 160 meters, many were the times when stations in 4 land (Florida) had propagation to Asia when we heard nothing. The most striking example for me was 4W8X. That team put in a outstanding effort on TB and never once was I able to hear them. On the other hand, I know that many stations in 4 land worked 4W8X. And for the record, I put in probably 30 to 40 hours listening. So, every area has advantages and disadvantages when it comes to propagation on TB. 73 and GL, Bob K3UL -----Original Message----- From: Topband <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Wes Stewart via Topband Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 2024 4:10 PM To: [email protected]; Karin Anne Johnson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Topband: RBN on 160M There could be other examples but N4IS leaps to mind. He lives in FL and has 305 entities on 160. Maybe he worked some of them elsewhere, I don't know. Wes Stewart, N7WS It sucks to live in Florida and operate on 160 meters. Not really but I do enjoy the challenge. 73 es 88 Karin Anne Johnson K3UU Palm Harbor, Florida _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
