Topband: 160 conditions last night

[Ron Spencer]

Another excellent opening to EU late last night (12:30 AM local or so). Many rbn spots at 30dB s/n or more! 



DF2PY, Wolf, called in with an outstanding signal. S8 on my 8 antenna circle receive array which doesn't have a preamp. To put that in perspective, Jon, AA1K, was S9 this morning cqing. 



Later I tried QRP and worked both OK1CF and DF2PY with 5W. Obviously both have excellent receive systems.



 I did see quite a bit of ft8 activity. Shame more folks didn't venture to cw. 



Sure hope the excellent conditions continue up to and through the upcoming 160 contests. 



Thanks for all the Qs last night. Sure was fun.



Happy New Year!
