Topband: Wednesday 160m DX CW Activity Night

[Roger Kennedy]

Well conditions were quite up and down last night . . . but good to hear
quite a lot of stations making the effort to get on Top Band on CW.

The whole idea is to at least have a FOCUS of at least one night when we can
get a lot of stations on the band working each other, and Wednesday seems a
good choice.  (back in the day it was always Saturday night on 160m . . .
but I think these days people often have social lives with their partners or
family at the weekend)

I usually come on the band from 23.30Z to 01.00Z . . . then around 03.00 for
a while . . . then around our Sunrise (07.00)

One thing I have noted . . . after working a few NA stations, I called CQ
for ages, with no replies . . . so I spotted MYSELF on the DX Cluster (naff
thing to do, I know) . . but guess what? I then started getting LOADS of
replies.

So please guys, can we try and Spot each other, to promote CW activity?
(The FT8 boys do this all the time!)  I know some people make a point of
always doing this, like W0FLS - thanks Dave ! 

And I've said it before, but I'll say it again . . . it doesn't matter how
many times I've worked a station before . . . EVERY QSO over 2000 miles on
Top Band gives me a thrill . . . so please don't hesitate to give me a call
if you hear me on ! (and I'm sure most other British stations think the
same)

Hope we can have even more CW stations on the band next Wednesday !
