Don't get down on yourself. Conditions on 160M can be peculiar. I have not
heard much from JA, BV or other Asia either but ZL and VK have been
relatively strong. I await the time when I can't get a run of Asian stations
too. Time now to get as many listening antennas as you can up in the air in
preparation for the opening that will eventually come. I just hope I have
time to listen when the time comes. Today VK6HD was strong from the NW which
is unusual for me. Things are changing... I just hope that everyone can be
"real" when they start calling and don't get caught up in the excitement
when they can't hear anything. If you've worked them before, give someone
else a chance first. If you can't hear them well enough to copy your own
callsign when they reply, you probably shouldn't be calling. It all starts
with "ME", I plan to be a gentleman, I hope you will too.
