Olof, I'm in AZ. SR at 1419z and SS at 0019z. I heard you on 80m CW yesterday just before and during our SR abt 339/449. I have 3B9 on 80m so I didn't call. However, many of us on the West Coast do n
Trevor,I called u for almost 20 minutes my Saturday evening just before ur SR. U peaked 459 at times but u never hear me or some of the other Ws calling.Hoping for better condx.Ray, N6VR Near Presco
Hello Bruce, I have a 72 ft irrigation pipe vertical for 160m. It is much stronger that your Spider pole. I use 16 ga wire for my 4 top hat wires. I'm not sure how many top hat wires you have in mind
Steve and all, Heard you working the EU stations last night and the night before. You must have had some fantastic and unique propagation! Could only slightly hear a few of them. As for the poor EU S
Hello Roger, I got on last and called cq at abt 0630z and worked an F6 and DF2. A few minutes later worked an EA5. AZ was new state for him. I'll take a listen starting abt 0300z but the West coast
Peter, In my ecperience, this can explain why I hear western EU so much better starting about 30 min before their SR. Ray,N6VR as Nick, VE7DXR said already on this reflector I have to confirm that th
In my mind, the station you are talking about is very inconsiderate and lacking poor judgement. It is a common thing to call and say hi to someone on TB when the condx are slow or poor propagation.
I need the experience and wisdom of this group. I have am 80m vertical hanging off the side of my 160m vertical and share the common radial system. The 160m vertical is 4" and 3" irrigation pipe, 72
John, Tnx for your comments and suggestions. For others on Top Band, please read the string of emails leading up to this email, or delete the whole string. The coax runs to my 80m/160m verticals are
Ken,Good catch! Heard i u calling uk9aa but never heard him. He's been spotted a lot but it would take some very special /weird condx for us to hear him. Otherwise, checked the band several times but
Peter: Is this a question or what you are saying is a know fact? I am very interested in this outcome since I will a installing a TX 4SQ system where some existing ground radials. Over time, I have h
Ash, Heard an N1, W9 and others work you, but your signal did not make it to Arizona. I hoping you can get more power at some time. Otherwise, it will take a fantastic 160m opening for us to hear you
I personally think you have created a lot of problems on all bands with 3 large towers so close together. 70ft between two is acceptable. But having one in the middle can cause a number of problems i
Oh I wish, but not for the West Coast. Been listening intently on 160m for the TO6, 9X0 and 3V8 to be audioable, but nothing. I need them all. Both TO6 and 9X0T were workable on 80m. Earily Oct is to
Hello Buzz, I have a 72 ft irrigation pipe vertical, plus a 67 ft insulated drop wire 5 ft, spaced 18 in. away from the top for 80m. Both antennas are fed at the bottom with their own matching device
Hello Tree, Good to hear condx you are working EU in the morning. I haven't yet from AZ. W7RH is less than 75 miles from me. Guess I should get up in the early hours of the morning. But I was on last
Jim, Sure wondered how you worked 58 eu from w6 land. I haven't worked more than a dozen EU from AZ in any recent 160m tests. Ray, N6VR On Mon, Jan 28, 2019, 2:47 PM Larry via Topband <topband@contes
Tnx for the info. Wish someone else could put on 4U1ITU again but perhaps with a little notice. It's even rarer on the West coast. Ray, N6VR _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesti
I would think so. They were handled out to many who attended the International DX Convention at Visalia, California this past weekend. One of the ops had a large hand full to pass out. Ray, N6VR ____
