Topband: RE: 3B9C 160m

"Funny thing about human psychology...

The ionosphere shifted and you made the QSO---thus qualifying 3B9C as
"another excellent Topband dxpedition effort." ..."


Garry, your psychoanalysis is all wrong.  The 3B9C 160m operation is an
excellent Topband dxpedition effort not because propagation shifted and I
worked them.  And conversely, their Topband efforts are not shabby merely
because W6 has only a narrow darkness window of opportunity.  Our human
psychology (mine and yours) have nothing to do with the excellent Topband
efforts of 3B9C.    The 3B9C operation is well planned and executed.  It is
staffed with excellent operators, and it is equipped with excellent Topband
antennas, amplifiers, and radios.  But most importantly, 3B9C is providing
excellent activity on 160m during the period of greatest opportunity for
propagation.
