Dennis,
I listened to you several evenings on 160, and given the number of stations
calling compared to those you could hear most evenings, I thought you might be
suffering from a high noise level on receive locally. Your ability to hear
better on December 11 was quite noticeable on my end too. I was thinking if
you had been suffering from a a noise issue, you had solved it. Glad you
finally had a good evening of operation. It was a good evening for me too.
Propagation is a subject, and an experience, that never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks and 73,
Bill - NA5DX

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently operated as CX/W1UE, from Uruguay. I had difficulty hearing
stations on most nights,
but the night from 2200Z Thursday Dec 10 to 0600Z Friday Dec 11, I had
no trouble hearing
stations on either 160 or 80M. I worked more stations in that 8 hour
time period that I did in
20 hours spread over 2 weeks. I keep coming back to the same question-
why?
Since I have never operated from CX before, I have nothing to evaluate
the 2 weeks against.
Did that night have exceptional low band propagation?
For that one night, I had no problems hearing anyone, it seemed. I
worked as far east as UA9
in Z18 on 80M, and a dozen Europeans on 160M. Stations that I never
heard before or after
that night. I'm trying to figure out how I heard so well on that night,
but not on the other 10 nights
where I also tried to make 80/160M QSOs. I can't explain it.
Dennis CX/W1UE now just W1UE.
