Topband: Band Open - But No Sunrise Peak

[Thomas Hoyer]

I'm using a Battle Creek Special. I had plans to make some form of compact RX antenna - no room for long wire antennas here - this fall, but other things got in the way........

Hello Tom:

I am curious what your topband RX antenna is?

I must be in a black hole as I have listened every night this week and heard
no EU. Probably doesn't help I have an S7 to S9 noise level
though....................

The band has been open for DX from Europe almost every night this week . . .
so let's hear some more activity from you North American guys!   (I'm
usually on from around 23.30 Z)

However . . . I'm still amazed that there seems to be no peak in signals
around our Sunrise 

(in the old days, when conditions were much better, signals would usually
increase by at least 10 to 20dB, both ways)
