Topband: Good Conditions, Little Activity

[List Mail]

Conditions to NA from VK recently have been very poor.
However, from VK to EU over the past week at our sunrise (EU after sunset)  it has been pretty good, until today. I dragged myself out of bed the past four mornings (Fri – Mon) and worked some nice DX (on CW) into Europe on Friday and Saturday. Conditions were reported good for Wed and Thu too. Sunday morning was the Russian DX Contest, and the band was full of CW signals (so I went back to bed) but the propagation was obviously decent. This morning, it was as dead as (insert metaphor of your choice). I expect the current geomagnetic activity has shut the door.
Hopefully propagation returns before the EU – VK path closes until the end of the year.

DX Propagation has been pretty good the last few nights . . . I've had a
couple of S9+ QSOs with NA stations

Shame there's hardly any CW stations on!

Maybe there will be more over the weekend?
