A thought. . . for those of you who may be running QRP or have modest
stations with less then optimum antenna systems, please remember to give
your call *multiple* times if the other station is having trouble
getting your call. There are many stations eager to get you om yjr log
that have multiple potent options for receiving. . . different arrays,
different directions (DX paths sometime shift), different combinations
of diversity, etc. It takes time too sort through all of that and find
the "magic" combination. While propagation hasn't been the best let's
get on and have fun!

To add some 160m 'Westcoast" DX-encouragement, yesterday (March 6) I had CW
QSOs with Karel OK1CF, Al LY7M and Stig OZ4MM.
Last night (March 7) OK1CF, OZ4MM, RX3APM, SM5EDX and LY7M all answered my CQ.
All with good signals on the QSB peaks.
So....in spite of the solar peak and elevated geo-mag, there are still some
signals from Europe bubbling over the pole.
Because of family commitments, I will only be casually participating this
weekend but will look to hand out a few QSOs.

Subject: Topband: Sprint Stew Perry coming up tomorrow
The Spring Stew Perry starts at 1500Z on March 8th and runs for 24 hours.
There should be lots of CW signals on 160 meters to work. Exchange your
four digit grid square.
