A strange thing happened to me this morning. After calling "CQ DX" on 1820
khz so many Japanese stations came back to my call, it was difficult to get a
clear call sign out of the many calling. Finally I managed about 3 or 4
stations did stand out and I was able to have some very fine qso's. I believe
the point that I am making is that condx have been very good to the west from
my location in Florida. I copied the FK3 and the VK9 with reasonably good
sigs as well as several other before now I was uable to hear. It appears that
it is finally my turn to at least hear the dx again and even get to work a
few!!!!! 73's aall.

Ive often seen reference to "lots of JA's and JA pileups" on Topband posts
and while I know there are many hams in JA it seems unusual for so much
apparent 160 activity given antenna dimension issues and famous JA lot sizes
in the
populated areas. Does anyone have a feel for how popular 160 really is in
JA? If I were to assess that from my JA 160 experience I'd say there aren't
any ! ;<
