Appreciate your comments Phil. What we hear/see at one end can be very different at the other end of a qso, no doubt. And dits hard to tell. from afar. DPM is usually heard very well here in Ohio dur
Roger, I stopped by the shack last night to listen for sigs...heard nothing for 15 minutes or so. til the xyl called me to watch the Olympics. I need to warm up the amp and put out a few CQs instead
Made just two contacts on 160 ssb during the contest. Cndx way below those of the ARRLWWDX-cw contest. Curious how others saw the band? Overall, even 40m was well below par to VK/ZL/JA, although 10-1
Roger - its amazing how the SP Spring Contest brought in quite a few F, OM, DL sigs that were strong. Plus my local sunrise CQ SP brought back a reply from Luke, VK3HJ - NICE surprise! But since that

Thanks to your post I got on 160 at 0230z last night and heard Karel CQDXing. With my 52 ft tall, 0.25 wave Inv-L working against a single ground rod ( all 28 radials were still coiled up and hanging
Woke up just before SR, staggered into the shack, and heard HL5IVL peaking 569 but with deep QSB. Fired up the amp and called Kim four times - all with no replies. Disappointed, wondering what was wr
Thank you Alfeo. Ive been looking for you on 160/80m cw. Will listen for you beginning tonight Nov 17/18 on 1826 and 3527! Good luck with your low band propagation. Mille grazie! Bob W3HKK Ex: F7AL-O
Good to hear from you Nick. Here in Ohio, W3HKK worked 160-10m. ( on all bands I worked one Russian, confirming your observations.) Also worked a handful of northern europeans ( SM LA OH) - just a fr

Thanks for a very enjoyable thread with multiple real-world examples of the remarkable benefits of proximity to salt water. Sounds like great fun. My own less-interesting case does not involve salt w
Only DX station heard was VK6LC, and he was mostly buried in the noise. Not strong enough to call. Several strong stateside stations were heard but no-one else. Maybe tomorrow? Bob -- _______________
