Charlie W0YG and Burt W0MY will arrive on Christmas Island on 22 November for a two-week plus stay as VK9XG, with the major aim of 160m and 80m DX QSOs. VK9XG is likely to be the last lowband DXpedit

Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 08:46:24 +0800
G'day Finally, it seems like the conditions everywhere are mirroring the bottom of this sunspot cycle. Inspired by the recent DX reports I read in the 160m reflector archive, I got up half an hour be

3. Topband: VK9XG on air (score: 1)

Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2005 21:29:47 +0800
G'day Just to let those interested know that Charlie VK9XG got onto the air around US sunrise and has a 160m tx antenna up, but no rx antennas yet. I worked him on 1827.5 about half an hour before hi

Hi Evan On Christmas Island, with its high QRN levels and huge general atmospheric noise, receiving on a conventional omni-directional (transmit) antenna is about as much use as a snowball is in hell

5. Topband: VK9 in comparison to VK6 (score: 1)
Author: Steve Ireland <vk6vz@arach.net.au>
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 07:42:58 +0800
G'day I have had several emails over the last week from people asking me why if they can hear myself or VK6HD so well, why VK9X is more difficult to hear/work. The operating conditions/propagation fr

Author: Steve Ireland <vk6vz@arach.net.au>
Date: Wed, 02 Nov 2005 21:20:42 +0800
G'day Listening to VK9XG pulling stations out of the 160m QRN and OTHR, it has been very disappointing to hear (fairly frequently) that when Charlie gets a partial call, some stations choose ignore t

7. Topband: VK9CG on 160M (score: 1)
Author: Steve Ireland <vk6vz@arach.net.au>
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2005 20:14:52 +0800
G'day There seems to be a strange misconception among some topbanders that VK9CG will not be on 160m. The 160m antennas were only taken down the night before Charlie left VK9X owing to their large si

G'day I enjoyed Bill's posting about 'Genius Loci' and there is a practical/historical reason why OK/OM hams have this approach to topband. Back in the late 1960s (?), the then Czechslovakian Republi

G'day Bad news from Cocos Keeling Island. Charlie is on his 5th 160m receiving antenna configuration and NOTHING has helped to cut down the S9+ 'dragon's breath'. The OTHR has been on every night thi

G'day Last night (through US sunrise) Charlie called CQ for three and a half hours on top band. He worked a bunch of JA and a few UA0 but only two stateside stations made it into the log - N7UA and N

G'day It has been interesting to read the various emails about the CQ WW CW and the ARRL 160. I figure the CQ WW CW these days is only good for a station as remotely situated from the rest of the wor

Hi Craig You are right to a point, mate. The main thing is for the DX window to be free of European and North Americans CQing, so there is room for the DX to operate there. At the moment, stations as
