Roger, I agree fully that unless someone is calling CQ, we will all conclude the band is dead. As Dave said, with the usual very rapid QSB on 160m this is very true. However, regarding conditions. He

For at least 15 years (perhaps more) I have been chasing Ross 9M2AX for a new one on 160m. For some reason, a QSO has eluded us. Every morning this winter season I have been at the radio RX for Ross,

Hello fellow DXers...... VE6WZ will be QRT from the HF bands above 160m. On Tuesday Aug 27, I suffered a main lift cable failure on my crank up tower that destroyed all of my Yagi's and the US tower.
