Topband: TB season

[Luis Mansutti IV3PRK]

Bill and all,

as a newcomer you can find on my website a lot of graphs showing the season 
behaviour of 160 meters.

For example give a look at these pages 
http://www.iv3prk.it/north-america.htm and 
http://www.iv3prk.it/peaking-times.htm and you see that Topband season never 
ends:

In the last 20 years I been active on 160m. almost every day and antennas 
are always the same, winter and summer: 4 elevated radials for transmitting 
and NO Beverages for receiving, so no problems for gardening and grass 
mowing!
