Well 160m DX Propagation has continued to be pretty good over the last few days . . . I'm just surprised how few stations are coming on the band. Maybe we'll have lots on tomorrow night for our regul
Well although it was good to work lots of DX Stations in the Stew Perry, you don't have to wait for a Contest to work DX Stations . . . In fact it's EASIER when there's NOT a Contest on, as there's l
Well 160m conditions have certainly been up and down the past few days . . . and open from EU to the West Coast at times. Hopefully we'll get lots of stations on tomorrow night to see what we can all
After a few days of poor DX conditions, looks like 160m propagation is getting back to normal . . . I myself managed an S9 report from Washington State last night. So hope we'll see lots of stations
Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come on last night . . . quite a few stations on, both sides of the pond. Conditions were reasonable, although personally I had a high noise level (it was ve
Just a reminder about tomorrow night . . . For those who want to check their setup ahead of the CQWW at the weekend . . . Or for those that find the mayhem of the Contest too much, and just want to w
Good to hear so many stations on last night, from both sides of the Pond. Conditions continue to be pretty good, so hope to work lots of you in the CQWW this weekend! 73 Roger G3YRO _________________
Just another reminder to all those that want to come on the band and have some DX CW QSOs tomorrow night . . . (and without all the clamour of the Contest!) Personally I should be on from around 0000
Your weekly reminder about tomorrow night, for those of us that prefer to work DX on CW . . . Conditions seemed pretty poor over the weekend, but are starting to improve again, so hope to see some of
160m Conditions across the pond continue to be reasonable . . . Yet there seems to have been very little CW activity from NA for the last week or so. (despite lots of Europeans on the band calling CQ

What is the UTC time frame that most activity happens on Wednesday nights? I would like to give a listen although I don't expect to hear a lot from the black hole of the upper Midwest. 73 Phil, KB0N
Well activity is when there is Propagation, ie during the darkness hours, from your Sunset to Sunrise where you want to work. I personally come on from around midnight our time (0000 Z), and try and

British medium wave stations may be usable to indicate viable propagation. Here in Massachusetts, I frequently hear 693, 882, 909, 1053, 1089, and 1215 kHz. Absolute Radio on 1215 is probably the mos
Well after a few very poor days, it looks like DX Propagation on 160m has now improved . . . So hopefully we'll see some Activity tomorrow night ! 73 Roger G3YRO _________________ Searchable Archives
I came up on air around my sunrise today 2000z and heard E71A, and an SV9 station (which I need) who was working EU stations that I could not hear. I went back to bed. Yesterday evening I worked seve
Well looking at RBN reports from across the pond, 160m DX propagation continues to be rather poor . . . There was heavy rain here last night, which gave me lot of power line noise, so couldn't copy a
Hi Roger, I had a lot of fun early this morning working into Eu an hour before through a little past their sunrise. A lot of QSB but pretty decent signals and I even did a 2 way 100 watt QSO with F5P
Hi Don Yes most of the other British DX-ers seem to come on around our Sunrise . . . I stopped bothering a while ago, and come on in the middle of the night instead. Mainly because there's usually mo
Virtually all of the good DX I've worked on 160, 80, and 40 has been in the daylight side of the terminator at one end or the other of the QSO. Typically 30-45 minutes for 160, an hour or so for 80,
The best propagation to Europe seems to be from about 5 15 minutes past my sunrise in the summer time. To NA, I usually see a peak at or after their sunrise. Ive not been following that much past the
