221. Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night (score: 1)
Author: "Roger Kennedy" <roger@wessexproductions.co.uk>

Great to hear lots of people on the band last night, and Conditions were pretty good ! The only strange thing was that Propagation seemed a bit one-way - I was getting some amazing Reports, whereas m

Guy I have ALWAYS thought that the various Computer-based modelling of Ground and its effect on Antennas is WAY off . . . And surely the errors are MOST significant on 160m, not just because Antennas

Well I agree with that too Dave . . . To me, it's a kind of "Urban Myth" that 160m DX is all Low Angle propagation. Sure, on 80m it nearly ALWAYS is . . . You MUST have a Vertical to work DX well on

Oh that's something else I forgot to mention . . . A couple of years ago I built a 160m Receiving Loop, which is Vertically polarised. It behaves very differently to my Dipole, I can see huge differe

Yes Steve, I have a big custom 160m choke right at the feedpoint of my Dipole . . even if I didn't, most of the feeder runs horizontally in my loft at right angles to the dipole. Thank you for your c

I know I have been promoting Wednesdays as a mid-week CW activity night (to try and get everyone on the band at the same time) . . . but traditionally Saturday night has always been the main time to

Just another weekly reminder, as DX propagation continues to be pretty good on Top Band . . . So hopefully we'll see lots of stations on from both sides of the pond tomorrow night ! 73 Roger G3YRO __

Well Bob my own experience these days when working NA stations is that the peak occurs at least 3 hours after Sunset and at least 3 hours before Sunrise. (and that is obviously not a Tropical path) Y

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
