Topband: A desert ?

[Bob Eldridge]

Hi Mike
Some time ago you were asking about BC "beacons" for topband, and about summer 160 conditions.
This morning I checked before sunrise just in case FO8RZ was there.  The band was very quiet except for a few W7 chatting on 1875, but I had a look up at 2310 and 2325 for the ABC stations, and they were there as usual,  readable above the minimal noise. This on the horizontal loop, non-directional.
