Hello Roger & topbanders,
I took a nap in the early evening, then was out on 160 a bit after 0300
UT. Activity was steady and the QRN level was pretty low. The QSB was in
evidence, as usual, but I thought condx were pretty nice. I worked 56
stations in between making a sliding shelf for my relay rack. I am
trying to install an old 1955 era Collins R-392/URR receiver there, and
it needs a shelf. The shelf came out fine and the activity time on 160
M came out fine too.
I noted a few NA stations, but not too many. W2RE was in the Caribbean
and had a small pileup. I think W0FLS was on along with a few others. I
only had one NA station call me, but that is to be expected. Still, it
seems that NA activity is pretty low compared to Europe. Here is my list
with calls and distances listed.
I detected one caller but could not make a QSO. Their call had BL or BN
in it. It was very weak and I could only copy on the QSB peaks. They did
not stick around for too long.
