341. Topband: Poor 160m DX Propagation (score: 1)
Author: "Roger Kennedy" <roger@wessexproductions.co.uk>
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2022 23:05:27 +0100
I get why many of you in North America may not be active at the moment, if there's now a lot of QRN (let alone risk of lightning strikes) . . . But are the poor RBN reports lately due to high QRN ove

Well there's a few of us Europeans that still come on 160m most nights . . . but generally there's very little DX activity. (Thought I'd post something as it seems there have been NO posts so far in

Yes these signals are very strong here in Britain . . . they're about 3kHz wide, and are usually S9 +30dB. Someone told me they're from a company that sells Data Transmission to companies that need t

Having received a couple of emails, I thought it would be worth coming on last night. . . . I was doing a gig in town, so didn't get home until nearly 2.30am (01.30 GMT). I put out a CQ DX call, and

I get what you're saying Steve . . . But to me, anything over 2,000 miles I consider DX on 160m . . . considering most stations on Top Band struggle to work stations 1,000 miles away. So I still cons

Yes, there's no point in blaming FT8 for a decline in CW activity . . . If more people make an effort to come on 160m on CW, there WILL be more activity . . . it's as simple as that! And I get that s

This circuit is clearly MUCH simpler than the MFJ units, which uses matching transformers and has several extra stages. Personally, I would find it annoying that the gain isn't unity through the unit

Well the poor DX conditions on 160m seem to be persisting . . . I had a listen on the band several times during last night . . . but didn't hear a single DX station (although I did have quite a high

I've had an awful noise on 160m for the past 4 weeks, a buzzy hash covering the whole band around S9. So it's been almost impossible to work any DX - apologies if you've called me, and I haven't hear

Well given that several people have posted that conditions were poor, I guess I should be happy that I managed to work 26 NA stations in the hour I spent on the band - even more so as I have this hor

I came on about 4 times during the night, but propagation this side of the pond was really poor. NA Stations that are normally over S9 were around S5 . . . so couldn't hear weaker signals at all. Eve
