Topband: Where is everyone?

[K1FZ-Bruce]

Was very busy so did not get on. Did spot listen at times. Found at my QTH condx were poor. Signals at high angles. 
 
The best front to back, and copy was on my BOG  (SE-NW). 
 
When high bands are real good, 160 meters is often poor. .  
 
Hope 160 is better tonight.

      My point is that I find it ironic to see hams complaining about poor 
activity, then giving zero welcome to a few nights of amazing activity 
from contestors who provide lots of activity, the opportunity to work 
stations in areas you might never hear, a great chance to see how your 
station is performing, and the incentive for new hams to join the fun on 
Topband. Consider this when you get on the band and hear a contest and 
resent the activity. 

Oh, by the way, I'm an old fart, licensed 62 years now and active every 
single day for the whole time. In the last 10 years alone I have made 
over 7,000 Qsos with stations in 300 countries, just since I moved to 
TN. Before that, three times that number! If you hear me on 160, give me 
a call....always happy to meet a new friend. 

Oh, you will hear lots of stations this weekend down on CW. It's the 
Stew Perry Topband challenge. http://www.kkn.net/stew/
Try to be patient. Maybe even call a few:-)
