Topband: 160 last nite and this morning

[Ron Spencer]

Last nite (Oct 9th) seemed excellent condx to EU. Worked several stations and even a couple with just 100W. this morning the OC contest was going so more activity than usual. Worked 8 VK and 1 KH6. More in one morning than any other time. In fact, more in one morning than in many years! 



Since building a W8JI/ W5ZN 8 antenna circle array I've played on 160 through our summer (really helps if you can hear stuff!!) and its been very fun. In our mornings quite common to hear a couple VK and even ZL. On a couple mornings have even worked JA. Now that its getting later in the year I'm seeing/ hearing a few more US stations on both in our mornings and evenings so I'd expect activity to continue to increase.
