Hi,

I continue to find evidence that 160 meters is NOT closed for the season. Most of the evidence is to be found way up in the phone band. I wondered if those guys were running California kilowatts or something but in some of the QSOs they mentioned their power output in the 100 watt area. I have occasionally heard some CW calls for DX but those are scarce. Apparently the CW hams are just plain absent..doing soemthing else for the 'closed' season.

This morning I set up a receiver to slowly scan (troll) from 1800 to 1830 kc...continuously. While I am working around here in and out of the shack I will hopefully hear anybody in range if there is activity.

73,

Bill  KU8H
