141. Topband: Very little NA Activity (score: 1)
Author: "Roger Kennedy" <roger@wessexproductions.co.uk>
Date: Sun, 09 Feb 2020 11:39:21 -0500
Yes but 15 QSOs in over 3 hours isn't very satisfying ! Last Winter when I was started trying to encourage more people to come on the band each Wednesday night, I often worked over 30 stations in jus

Well, I've personally never really understood this desire (or obsession?) to only want to work new Countries . . . After all, it's more of an achievement to have a contact on Top Band with someone 4,

Personally, I don't really care what anyone else does ! I achieved DXCC on 160m many years ago . . . and stopped even counting new countries once I had worked over 200. (it used to be really hard, as

Very curious . . . I came on 160m last night to see what NA stations I could work in the contest . . . spent half an hour tuning around and only heard 12 stations calling CQ, all of which I worked. I

I had forgotten it was a multiband contest, so I now appreciate that's why less NA stations are on calling CQ. Well I came on for a total of about 4 hours over the weekend . . . managed to work a tot

Yes, as Dave K1WHS noted, very few NA stations on the band last Wednesday (think I only heard/worked 4), but there were loads of EU stations calling CQ DX. (I find that very sad, considering how many

Interesting reading some of the comments on this topic. I have been working DX on 160m for 50 years (I started young LOL!) . . . The one thing I have ALWAYS noticed over the years is that the propaga

Dave was originally G3SZA . . . he lived just two miles from me when I first was an SWL, aged 12. He was already working DX on 160m back then (1967), as was another local/old friend of mine, Mike G3S

Well I came on for a few hours last night . . . Conditions were good, as my RBN reports with NA sites were between 20 and 35 dB over the noise. But I only worked a handful of NA stations ! (there wer

Steve, I agree about getting response only when you've been spotted on the DX Cluster (which is why I sometimes resort to spotting myself after endless CQ DX calls - then suddenly I get lots of calls

Hi Mike As I said in my previous post, as the 1025 uses the same PCB as the 1026, I effectively modified my 1025 to become a 1026, using MFJ's circuit, built on to the empty slots on the PCB. And as
