Topband: C21MM

[Steve Harrison]

Andy,

*"First we will prefer CW."*

We in North America (and probably South America, too) are NOT seeing
this happen; rather, the great preponderance of both 160 and 80m
activity from C21MM has been the digital mode. In particular, we are not
finding C21MM being on the air on either band during our nighttime
hours, when we should have great propagation to the South Pacific. Right
now, I am looking at lots of spots for C21MM from Europe on 80m....
hours after even the west coast NA sunrise. That's fine; but why aren't
we from the Western hemisphere also being opportunities to work C21MM on
160m or 80m CW??

If possible, please spend some time attempting to work some North
American stations on *160 and/or 80m **CW*. A few minutes here and there
is NOT enough; HOURS on the low bands are needed in order to catch the
propagation peaks all across the NA and SA continents.

TNX,

Steve K0XP
