Many interesting reports lately on topband conditions and if the season is
over?
Most of the season occurred during a few evenings in late October. There
have been a few mini openings since when staying up late enough for those.
Last
evening was one example.
Heard SV3RF and worked S50U DL1AUZ and I2BBJ. This morning JH1GVY - 559 with
lots of unusual QRN but the only dx on the band. Previous mornings tried to
hear V85NL but nothing on 160, although good on 80. With DU9/N0NM one morning
at sunrise he was s9, usually s5 or so, and a qso before he faded very fast
in just a few minutes. Some mornings the
JA are s9 or over, and other mornings nothing. One evening when the noise
was very low, below s1, I heard 9K2MU but not loud enough to try. Haven't been
able to hear SV5.
So like Larry W7IUV I hope to leave the short Beverages (one 370' and another
500') up a bit longer, before the horses take over their pasture.
So the season is not over yet. Two new ones this season, 9H and 5T5.
