Heck, got on 160 yesterday morning and called CQ -- had a nice chat with W7CB
near San Luis Obispo, CA....wonderful copy on both ends, he with a KW and me
with 30 watts. Go figure - two guys on Top Band at the same time IN the
summer!!
Albeit not DX, will wonders never cease?!?!?! Jim R. K9JWV
Hi Jim,
So... I'll keep trying. I listen around and sometimes make the call.
Shame on me! If I don't find a station calling then I should make the
call *every* time. W1AW is *always* copyable here (when they are on the
air). I run the dial up toward the other end of the band and can find
SSB stations there. The band ain't closed. I don't have SSB available on
160. If I want to chew the rag on 160 maybe I'll have to just fix that.
I don't mind QSOs with other North American stations.
73,
Bill KU8H
