Here is my 160M log from 20 Dec 2001:
0422: DJ0MDR 559
0529: CT1CJJ 559
0650: DF2PY 559
0709: G3PQA 569
0712: GW3KGV 559
None of this few seconds of grayline stuff, it was a sustrained opening-
It was the best single evening for UE I've done on 160M from here in Wyoming
in the 4 years I've lived at this QTH. I think more could have been worked
but the band lacked bodies- K0RF and AA0RS, about 80 miles SW of me in
Colorado did very well too. I did not work the CT3/DL station posted last
night on 160 but heard them faintly. Later, they were 599 on 80M CW. The
160M Inv L was hearing as well if not better than the 600 footer NE Bevg to
EU. K=0 last night, so much for a rising K enhancing 160M on this night- 80M
has been great as well with a number of EU worked in both the CW and SSB
window. Also worked VU2WAP on 80M LP this morning. Low bands seem to be in
great shape but I still think the high SF is hammering the low end of 80M CW
vs SSB signals much stronger 200KHz up the band. Of interest, K0RF and I have
noticed a couple recent mornings where JA's on 160M have been almost equal in
signal strength SW and NE at times, and when this happens, 80M LP is huge
later in the morning- May or may not be related, but interesting low band
happenings from here in the SE corner of W7.
