No one heard me calling CQ except for W1JN in CT at 0023Z and we had a nice

Here's a sample of the top band spotting on the Reverse Beacon Network from
0500Z last night. There are plenty of active reverse beacon receivers, but
only nine CQers in the USA and Canada after 0500Z: AA1K, KE1F, K3JJG, N4IS,
WA6TFZ, W7CB, W8UVZ, W9XQ and VE3CUI.

>Maybe we could get some low power 160 meter beacons operating through the

>It would be interesting to get more Field Day stations on 160. Maybe our

>a 30 foot high mast with top loading is not to hard to put together and can
>get out pretty well with two or three readials
>it might even get some new people interested in top band
