Once again, Europe made it into the log - but only just barely. OH1XX stuck with it until we got a good QSB peak to exchange reports. Yesterday, it was OH2BO. The day before that, it was OH1XX again

A red letter night for us in Boring. Worked about 28 Europeans last night. It was very interesting that Vlad, RA4LW, actually saw a peak in signals around one hour after his sunrise. We completed a S

This is my parent's anniversary. They say they got married on the longest night of the year... good planning. Last night - the band started filling up with signals before sunset and E70T was coming t

Not too much to report during the past few days. Conditions have been rather poor. Also, we have had some ice and snow here - and my main receive antennas are under two feet of ice/snow. I am hoping

The last 5 days or so have been far from Boring. Of course, with XMAS, there are family things to do... but after I got our neighbors out of the house after dinner on Thursday, I was able to sneak do

I must admit to be recovering some from the Stew and haven't been able to get up out of bed as early this morning. However, I noticed SM5EDX was working some guys this morning and K7TJR was acting as

I'd be interested in any tricks people have developed for silver soldering wires in a radial field. I have had a hard time getting good flow. I know you need more heat than with normal solder - but p

I guess from my perspective - while perhaps there haven't been as many good openings for the long hauls - one thing I have not heard is any echoes on signals that are indicators of some kind of ducti

It's possible this is a factor - but actually in my case, I think with the addition of beverages and my K3 - my ability to hear has improved significantly since the last sunspot minimum. Also - with

All - one of the more frustrating aspects of the 160 meter contests is the congestion in the 1810-1850 kHz segment of the band. I understand that there are many loud (and wide) European signals in th

Wow - lots of thoughts about this - thanks. One thing - I am not so much concerned about USA QRM and my ability to hear the Europeans coming back to me. The bigger issue I believe is that there are a

I am sorry I didn't hear Peter calling me. I did manage to work OH3XR however at 1450z. I understand SM5EDX was hearing me at that time, but I couldn't pull John out of the noise. Using Skype for CW

Two possibilies I can think of. First - I am using a simple RX loop with the null focused on my TX antenna for feeding a second RX. With the loop 1000 feet from the TX antenna, I can copy some signal

It seems there are some VERY GOOD antennas in the Ukraine. They are limited to ten watts (or something like that) across the whole band. All of this sort of points to the rules for 160 meters perhaps
