Topband: EU condx report, Pre-Stew and 7P8 at VE6WZ

[Roger Kennedy]

As you say Steve, there are all kinds of 160m operators.

I guess I just find it strange that some people go to a an awful lot of
effort to be able to work DX on Top Band . . . big antennas, often with
phasing arrangements . . . a big Linear, sometimes modified to cover 160m .
. . and all kinds of exotic Receiving antennas . . .

And yet many of those people only come on a few times a year, ie only if
there's some new island on the air, or possibly when there's a Contest.

It just seems an awful waste to me !

Anyway . . . there are several of us Europeans on Top Band calling CQ 3 or 4
nights a week . . . and happy to work ANY DX station, no matter how many
times we may have worked before !
