Bill, I'm not familiar with what you are using on 160m or how often you get on the band, but just because you have never noticed any DX activity on a non-contest weekend does not mean it is not there

For me, unless I use the amp, I get more DX on quiet nights than during a contest on 160. The more powerful stations always trump me when it comes to DX but while I'd rather make the contest DX Q, it

Tree, The contests may operate 10 nights a year but those nights are usually weekend when I, as well as others, have time to operate on the Topband. Why not take advantage of the unused nights and sc

I don't see DX activity tapering off in March. Heard, Cocos (Keeling), Juan de Nova and Iran show up on my calendar as potentials for March 2016. I worked my first 160m Vietnam in March 2014. That s

I, too, have to agree with Larry, K5RK. From my location in NTX in a noisy urban area I struggle to hear any 160m DX (using an SAL-20 RX antenna). Last week there was a thread about a "Huge NA-EU ope

Gary, while I am primarily a contester, I have been surprised by the amount of EU DX I can work on some non-contest nights. I agree with you; I have to say my best nights on 160M are in fact non-cont

Without taking a particular position on this issue, I have to wonder if any consideration has been given to this contest's namesake. How, exactly, would Stew Perry have felt about more contests (espe

Sorry, I think this is nonsense, especially directed toward SPTBDC. If you want to know "how well you got out" and better yet, how well you're hearing, just look at your results listing in columns Be

Especially on 160 meters I don't think the S in RST has a lot of scientific value since there is no real numerical standard as it relates to true signal strength. In my own mind I have come up with a
