Topband: 160

[Bruce]

Thanks Bob.

Well Said !

We need to keep saying this as there are a few that keep saying "shutting 
down for the season".
It often leads others to think the 160 meter band is dead for a season.

Mother Earth does have seasons, winter, summer. etc. lets not confuse the 
two. ( ; > )

There is no real "Season" for the band to be "Open" , more, that summer
 qrn etc keeps many from operating..This of course is reversed as the
 North and South seasons change...Sunrise and Sunset times also play a
 big factor on what paths are likely to be open..

 For us diehards the band produces unexpected dx rewards quite often and
 that is what keeps us there...Others appear on the band briefly only if
 there is a rare dx entity operating from some remote location..They
 rarely contribute to the band as regular operators do, rather, they just
 want that bit of wallpaper..

 Anyhow I guess horses for courses..
