Topband: OA4TT activity night 8 Mar 04-06Z

[Jack Henry, OA4TT]

Hi topbanders

It seems I am currently the only 160m capable station in Peru.  In lieu of doing skeds I have decided to try posting an activity night in advance.  If this works out I will try doing this every month or so.  


My station is modest with a TL922 running 1 kW into a 42 ft vertical T loaded with abt 40 radials in a rural area.   Please turn on your amps as I am receiving on the same antenna.  This night is primarily for EU. I will try another time period for US/Asia at a later date.  If you do not need Peru on 160, please do not call me. 


I am primarily a VHF op and am used to listening to nice white noise.  Topband tends to give me headaches after 2 hours and after this I cannot distinguish between dots from dashes.  If the aspirin works I will continue to work more western EU stations into their greyline.  I will listen up and listen more than a kHz depending on QRM.  Please send your call more than once.

Please QSL direct or lotw.  73    Jack
