Topband: COSMIC RAY UPDATE

[Chortek, Robert L.]

Please don’t laugh at my puny numbers.

This season I have worked 5 European stations from my noise challenged postage stamp lot in San Jose.  The last time I was able to hear and work a European station at my QTH was 2009.  

I’ve worked more DXCC entities on 160 this year than I have in any single year since 2010/11.

For me, this has easily been the best year in about a decade.  

That’s not to say there have not been periods of poor propagation this year but overall, it been good for me!

73 es DX,
