Topband: Topband Conditions---MEH!

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi All,

Well, a surefire hint that 160-meters just "...ain't what it used to be" may be readily seen by even a cursory glance at sites like sk4aw.net and the DX Edge---few-to-zero posts by North American stations, & even fewer spots of same by the DX!

The current state of affairs sure does remind me a lot of the post-Christmas drought on 1.8-MHz last year...only this year the Grinch came early!

John (ON4UN) asserts in his newest edition of LOW-BAND DX'ING that the overall best season for DX on the band probably occurred in the winter of 2008-2009...and I'm inclined to agree  with him 101%...
