Topband: FW: CQWW a bust this year

[donovanf at erols.com]

Hi Nick, 


W3LPL was multi-single, we spent very limited time 
on Topband except to chase multipliers. 


We worked 160 QSOs, 21 Zones and 70 countries on Topband 


Conditions appeared to be normal to Europe but poor 
on paths crossing the auroral zone such as Zone 16 


There was significantly less Topband activity than in recent years, 
perhaps because both 80 and 40 meters were excellent all night. 


Zone QSOs 01 1 02 1 
03 1 04 16 
05 12 
06 1 
07 2 
08 6 
09 4 
10 1 11 1 
13 1 
14 55 15 47 16 5 20 4 
21 1 
31 1 33 4 35 2 40 1 

73

Hi 

Frank 



May I ask how many QSOs with zone 16 did you have on 160 meters in this 
CQ WW ?
