Conditions were OK but not good to Europe over the weekend. The big signals that are normally over S9 were only around S7. Unfortunately I had to work until 3am on Saturday night/Sunday morning . . .

Now that we're properly into Winter, maybe we'll get more activity on CW (and not just during contests!) The idea is to get as many people on 160m on the same night as possible (I know that at the we

Hi Hank - just checked the Log - yes it was NA7TB ! I'm amazed how I manage to do with my modest setup, compared to what a lot of you guys in the US have for Top Band. And I don't think anyone here i

Thank you to everyone who made the effort to come on last night. There was very deep QSB on signals over here . . . but I personally managed 21 NA QSOs in the 2 hours I was on the band. Best DX was T

Well conditions had been pretty good all week up to Wednesday . . . I had plenty of QSOs right across the US, and was getting NA RBN S/N reports between +30 to 40dB, which is as good as it gets. Howe

Hi Steve I think one of the reasons I don't work you very often is because I don't usually stay on the band late enough ! That's apart from my city noise level ! Also, for some strange reason you're
