Topband: W7 Propagation 3/29/2021

[List Mail]

These Coronal Hole high speed solar winds seem to be quite relentless! I get the impression that I’m more affected by the disturbances than those North of me. I’m at 37 degrees South.
I’ve been on some mornings, looking for Europe CW contacts. There seems to be a bare handful of ops on. I worked my first EA6 yesterday morning. Josep was using only 100 watts! In our evenings, there are a bare handful of CW ops on in NA too. Conditions that way have been very poor, when usually, the Equinox gives us good openings.
 As ever, we live in hope! There is no “Top Band Season” as far as I’m concerned. I’m on every day.

Out of the blue with continuous solar disruptions and high A and K 
indexes an opening occurred last evening. A Index zero and K index less 
than 1 the band was a bit noisy, typical of Spring time levels. Miracles 
do happen.

I worked SM5EDX and SM3EVR from AZ QTH before I discovered my power 
level was only 25W! OK1CF made it into the log as well. Heard but not 
worked G3PQA, G3YRO and DL8LAS. Then the bell struck. At 04:00 UTC I 
lost remote Internet connection for the rest of the evening. :(

160m the magic band....
