[Wes Stewart]

 If the thunderstorms don't have me with disconnected antennas, I'll be there.

We reduced power due to issues with the 160 m antenna, which we have shortened to reduce danger to birds. Birds have entered a very active season on the island and we try to minimize out impact. Tonight (Aug 20) we will be back on 160 with full power at 0500 - 0600 and then later at 0800 Z. Note that this will be our last night on the air.

>>I tried the sched they posted...not a peep.Yesterday there were quite a few QSO around 1000Z.I tried that today and not a peep.Nor did I hear anyone calling.There was one spot, from Spain, but I don't think it was meant as a QSO report.Has their plan changed?Is the band as bad as it seems?  I haven't been on 160 for a couple of years...used to work EU, VK, ZL with no trouble.RBN shows my KW getting to New England and the Midwest only.Is something wrong here?I have five bands and hoped to add 160, but can't do a lot of the late stuff.WilsonW4BOH_________________Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband- Topband Reflector
