Thanks Bob.
Well Said !
We need to keep saying this as there are a few that keep saying "shutting
down for the season".
It often leads others to think the 160 meter band is dead for a season.
Mother Earth does have seasons, winter, summer. etc. lets not confuse the
two. ( ; > )

There is no real "Season" for the band to be "Open" , more, that summer
qrn etc keeps many from operating..This of course is reversed as the
North and South seasons change...Sunrise and Sunset times also play a
big factor on what paths are likely to be open..
For us diehards the band produces unexpected dx rewards quite often and
that is what keeps us there...Others appear on the band briefly only if
there is a rare dx entity operating from some remote location..They
rarely contribute to the band as regular operators do, rather, they just
want that bit of wallpaper..
Anyhow I guess horses for courses..
