Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night

[g3nkc]

Back to Rogers point, which is based on working to the west,  Its also a factor, given the 4 or 5 hour time difference,  the middle of the night EU time, catches the folk to the West, who might be doing before going QRT for the evening... folk still have to work, so its the lucky few who will be able to stay up to EU sunrise.. weekends or contest excepting....When I've been QRV from the West, I've tried to make a point to be on at my sunset, and never fail to work into EU (PZ5K was my last excursion)... 73 Dave G3NKC Sent from my Galaxy

I’ve not been following that much past their East Coast, as it gets very late here in the summer, along with varying levels of summer storm static in our evenings.73, Luke VK3HJSent from Mail for Windows 10From: Jim BrownSent: Friday, 5 March 2021 9:13 AMTo: topband at contesting.comSubject: Re: Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity NightOn 3/4/2021 1:53 PM, Roger Kennedy wrote:> Mainly because there's usually more stations to work . . . but also because> there rarely seems to be a Sunrise Peak these daysVirtually all of the good DX I've worked on 160, 80, and 40 has been in the daylight side of the terminator at one end or the other of the QSO. _________________Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
