Hi Dave,
I totally agree with your 160 meters condition report for CQWW this past
weekend. I operated slightly less than 2 hours since conditions were so
poor, and signals out of Europe were indeed very weak here in the midwest
US. See you during the ARRL 160, and it should be fun as usual regardless
of conditions.
