361. Topband: Bad 160m Conditions (score: 1)
Author: "Roger Kennedy" <roger@wessexproductions.co.uk>
Date: Sun, 08 Jan 2023 12:02:14 -0500
I wonder why DX propagation continues to be so bad? Certainly across the pond from Europe, signals are still at least 20dB below normal . . I've never known it be so poor for so long Roger G3YRO ____

Thanks for that Bob (I must confess that I've never really been into understanding all the technical factors that affect propagation) But the thing is that I've been DX-ing on 160m for over 50 years

Ironic that after complaining how poor DX Propagation has been for the past few weeks, they were quite reasonable from around 0300Z last night . . . Having seen fair reports from RBN stations, I carr

As someone commented, maybe we should complain about poor conditions more often, as the band was in good shape for DX last night! I came on for a while from around 0300Z, and worked 22 NA stations in

Yes 160m seems to be very up and down . . . Suddenly on Wednesday night around 0230Z I was getting very strong RBN reports from NA (like I used to get nearly all the time) . . . but there was very li

I wouldn't say conditions were GOOD last night, as the NA big guns are normally several S units stronger over here, but they were OK. I didn't get home from work til 0330Z last night (doing extra gig

Sadly as I mentioned before, I was working both nights until 0300Z, so didn't get home until 0330. Saturday night I was even more tired, so only stayed on for half an hour, but managed to work anothe

I currently have OFCOM investigating a local noise interference source. It's just a wideband hash across all bands, but worse on 160m (my main band). When looking on their Spectrum Analyser plugged i

I presume that with the problems they are having, they won't be getting on 160m? I already worked it ages ago, so not too bothered personally. 73 Roger G3YRO _________________ Searchable Archives: ht

I haven't bothered posting reminders for this for a while, as 160m conditions have been so poor. But they seem to be fairly good at the moment, so maybe we shall see some stations on the band tonight

I came on 160m a couple of times during Friday night, but only worked 15 NA stations, as conditions seemed poor. Saturday night I was doing a late night gig, so didn't get home until 03.30Z. However,

Well to me conditions are good if the DX stations that will peak over S9 are that strong . . . if they are S5-6 then conditions are poor, and if they are very weak or not there at all, then condition
