Topband: How do we get more people on Topband..

[Robert Briggs]

Topband has different appeals to different hams..In my experience over 
30 years of continuous operating I have seen many come and go, some only 
staying briefly while others develop the Topband virus and succumb for 
life...There are others like myself who find the challenge of topband is 
satisfaction in itself..

I think Brian, that you will find those of us who have brief exchanges 
almost daily throughout the year get satisfaction from the fact that we 
can "just do it"..It is a test for propogation as the band can conduct 
our signals across various paths and can be very unpredictable...

Yes, I think as an exclusive "Brotherhood" we do need to work you at 
every opportunity because Topband is probably the most difficult ham 
band below 6 meters and it is one place where you will often learn 
something new and sometimes outstanding..

I guess that the ON4KST chat would be the closest thing to a Topband 
Club along with this Topband list  with a very large and notable 
membership...It's here that you can mingle and exchange ideas and band 
information to each other and the fellowship there and here is excellent...
