N5J was on 160 from 0450 to 0530 last night with reduced power. We reduced
power due to issues with the 160 m antenna, which we have shortened to
reduce danger to birds. Birds have entered a very active season on the
island and we try to minimize out impact. Tonight (Aug 20) we will be back
on 160 with full power at 0500 - 0600 and then later at 0800 Z. Note that
this will be our last night on the air.
GL and 73,

I tried the sched they posted...not a peep.
Yesterday there were quite a few QSO around 1000Z.
I tried that today and not a peep.
Nor did I hear anyone calling.
There was one spot, from Spain, but I don't think it was meant as a QSO report.
Has their plan changed?
Is the band as bad as it seems? I haven't been on 160 for a couple of
years...used to work EU, VK, ZL with no trouble.
RBN shows my KW getting to New England and the Midwest only.
Is something wrong here?
I have five bands and hoped to add 160, but can't do a lot of the late stuff.
