Topband: CQ WW 160

[Roger Kennedy]

Popped on for a while at various times both nights for a total of about 2
hours, just looking to work North American stations.

The band was open to England . . . but only copied the big signals. Stations
that I would expect to be at least S9 under decent conditions were only S5
to S7.

Still, I did manage to work everyone I could hear, a total 0f 42 NA
stations. Best DX was Missouri - didn't hear anyone further west. (didn't
bother calling CQ, as I didn't want to be plagued by EU stations!)

As I have noticed recently, propagation across the pond peaked around 0300Z
. . . and signals dropped off well before our Sunrise (and obviously didn't
peak)
