Coming back into ham radio after 40 odd years QRT I feel like I have woken into a new world. I finally found out what the strange warbling noise around 1840 is but have no desire to investigate it fu

I was licensed in 1960 and very active on top band until about 1975. I then completely lost interest and only came back on the air this February. Wow, hasnt it changed! When I last switched off packe

The surprise this week in Europe has been the superb signals on 160 coming from VP6R. A steady S7 from a couple of hours before until well after dawn every day. Lots of East Coast with good strength

Indeed. Conditions have been very good this side of the pond as well. VP6R has been an amazing signal here and was peaking 599 this morning about 30 mins after sunrise. Also VE6WZ has been very good

I dont go in for contests but I did spend some time on top band this morning. From about 0600 to 0830 UTC. I was hearing a lot of E Coast at very good strengths plus several in the Caribbean. Unfortu

The QRM levels here in EU are only really a big problem during contests. In early evening our time (1600-2000 UTC) there are a lot of Eastern Europeans on but as the band is not yet open to the West

Well, the band was open albeit briefly this morning from the UK to ZL. When I used to operate in G/ZL tests in the early 60s that was thought impossible at this time of year. I cant speak for the int

You were an outstanding signal as well Don, up to 599 at times. Pity there was almost no other NA CW activity although some very loud SSB sigs from the E coast. Richard G3OQT _________________ Search
