Ray,
We may try FT8 tonight starting around 0900 Z (regular F/H on 1836.0).

Richard,
Thanks for the report, which is much appreciated. I am testing a new
antenna. Extra "bird friendly" only 38 feet tall. Seems to get out.
TKS and 73,
George

George,
Thanks for the qso on 160 this morning.
We worked twice. I called the 2nd time as you were very loud, 599+.
Conditions were very quiet on the 1/4 wave sloping vertical. My receive
array is not on line and there was no need for it.

TopBand is certainly open.From E51D I worked EA8 last night shortly after my
SS. Later, fromabout 10:00 Z most NA signals were S6 to S7, including East
Coaststations. Felt more like 80 m, but slower. Still, worked around 80stations
in 2 hours. It was a good night for TB.

There is an email circulating around Top Band DXers, asking us to try
and
encourage more CW activity . . . so I said I would post on here (as
this is
something I have always tried to do).
The problem is that if nobody comes on the band and puts out a call,
many
people presume that there is no Propagation. This is made worse if
all you
do is look at the DX Cluster, or look at your Waterfall Display.
I also know that some people only ever come on the band to work some
rare
Prefix or DX-pedition . . . but that is such a waste of a decent 160m
setup!
However, there are many of us that get a buzz out of working ANY DX (no
matter how often we may have worked that station before) . . . and DX on
160m is really anything over 3,000 miles away.
Top Band is certainly now open for DX most nights, certainly for
those of us
in the Northern Hemisphere . . . there 's just so little activity (it
gets
boring just looking at your signal reports on RBN!)
So come on guys . . . a lot of you put a lot of trouble into having
decent
Tx and Rx aerials for Top Band . . . what's the point in all that
effort if
you never come on the band ?!
