As Bob says, the band has been open to OC and JA with some excellent signals every morning for the last month or more. There is a regular east coast group that have been making it through when the co

This morning I uploaded a YouTube video explaining the method for tuning any 2el parasitic array. I do some experiments in my workshop using the Nano-VNA on a small 2 el Yagi to explain mutual coupli

Hi Rick, Yes you can field test for max F/B, but that is far from simple and easy to do. I have done it. Many times over the last 22 years. With a Yagi on the tower I used both an external source as

Starting earlier this spring and for the last few months both Nick and a few others have piqued my interest in MW BCB DXing and listening to these low-power TIS stations. I have found that a reliable

Tree I did model my system, but only a very rudimentary replication. I just modelled the Yagi on top as a big T. I just did it to grossly represent the driver in my parasitic array. Maybe you have al

Listened for DL8LAS and SM5edx but only a faint trace of SM5EDX CQ on the waterfall at 0300z. Started CQ at around 0400z and I was spotted by TF4X, G4HSO and ON6ZQ RBN skimmers so I new the band was

Last night before watching the news with my xyl, I decided to check 160. I didnt expect much with the solar wind above 400km/s and a pretty hot looking AU. In spite of the high QRN I saw a trace on t

Roger, Last night I had CW QSOs with OZ7YY, OK1CF, OK1TP, IV3PRK, SM4DHF and ON7PQ. Most signals were very solid. It was great to connect t with Luis. I have had between 3 and 6 EU QSOs every night f

Merv, I couldnt agree more. As Merv says....Its hard as heck to get EU to listen on the skew path. Last year when the AU was fairly quiet, the direct EU polar path prevailed, but in years past, the s

On August 24 I had my first EU QSO with Pat ON7PQ. Since then the band has been open most nights as long as the geo-mag activity is low enough. In the last few weeks I have had 42 CW QSO with Europe

Good trans-polar last night again into VE6, but QRN in EU made QSOs difficult. A surprise opening into more southern EU with IK7JTF and IV3PRK making it into the log in spite of high QRN in the Medit

There is still a great deal of CW activity on 160m ! What we need is more guys calling CQ and less just listening and saying that no one is active! With the usual very fast QSB on 160m, just scanning

Hans Im sorry but I agree with Bob K3UL, perhaps we should stop the whining about lack of CW and get on the band ! If I look at my log for the 2 months since August, I have SM4DHF X13 QSOs, SM5EDX X5
