Topband: Little NA Activity?

[daraymond at iowatelecom.net]

I was QRV off an on last evening (Saturday, NA time).  Condition were 
terrible.  Even Wolf, DF2PY, was mostly uncopyable.  This morning I got on 
and CQ'd for a while.  Surprisingly, VK6ATB called in (a first time call 
sign).  The VK4CT RBN had me at 15 db so condition at least to that part of 
the world were good this morning but no other activity.  Haven't seen any 
activity yet from JA.          73. . . Dave, W0FLS

Well I came on 160m both Friday Night and Saturday night.  (at various times
between 0200 and 0600Z)

Although some of my RBN reports from North American sites were quite strong,
I only worked a few NA Stations each night.  There were other Europeans on
too, who again were calling CQ DX, but getting no replies.

So I figure it was just a lack of activity from North American Stations . .
.

Is it still very noisy over there, is that why?

The one thing I DID notice (just like last season), is that far from my RBN
reports PEAKING towards our Sunrise, they actually went down.
