Another fantastic evening on the top band. The opening made it to Finland this time, with an early QSO with OH3XR just after my sunset. Band seemed to lose steam around 0500 however. Nothing much fro

After a handful of consecutive evenings with European openings, I have had two in a row without hearing Europe. What is interesting is that the stations just north of me (250 km) were able to work Eu

I knew the band would be nice to me on my birthday. Came up into the shack around 0220Z, and the first signal I tune in is UA3TCJ calling CQ. I wouldn't work him until later - but it instantly indica

One of the neat things about chasing DX from Oregon is that the band is hardly ever open - so for years on end, you can spend time with the family and take care of chores. Now I know what a problem i

This can be fixed by extending the center conductor out some from the end of the coax - and perhaps putting a ceramic insulator of some kind on it. I do this with RG8 - and it stands up to full powe

I hope that the direction of the technology discussion doesn't indicate that those who use the spotting tools are resorting to lower criteria for a QSO. Since everyone can see how the tool is used, I
