Topband: 160m CW Activity

[Roger Kennedy]

I know a lot of you guys in North America are complaining that you are
already getting a lot of QRN on the band, so aren't coming on . . . 

I guess we're pretty lucky here in Britain, as we only usually get
thunderstorms in August . . . and even then, only for a handful of nights,
so we don't get too many problems with static.

But I just wanted to let you know that there are still quite a lot of us
Europeans on 160m CW every night, looking for DX contacts . . . but most of
us are calling CQ DX for ages, and lucky if we have more than 2 or 3 QSOs.

However, propagation is still pretty good (I managed an S7 report from Texas
last night), so if your noise level isn't too bad, hope a few more stations
might make it on the band !
