Topband: Hearing but not working Eu at Sunset

[Craig Clark]

I have always felt the reason is that our signals are not as loud in 
Eu at Sunset due to the fact that the absorption is higher on our end 
and therefore our signals are not that loud as the Eu stations are 
for us. There has simply not been enough time for the effects of the 
Sun to "wear off" in the Ionosphere.

I won't disagree that QRM and congestion are also factors. For pete's 
sake, I heard UU7J last night an hour before sunset and I don't think 
anyone worked him. I never could.
