hello all
i am a new dx'er on 160 and i'm confused about "ilmo, oh2bo"'s
observation,
>>>"So far almost everything above axle East-West In October-November has been
dead with a couple of exceptions. I have worked AL7R, JA1HQT, HL3IUA and
KH2/K4SXT and a couple of UA9/0-stations.Nothing else heard from North
America, Caribia or JA.
I beleave there is a question about activity as well as propagation. It is
difficult to utilize short openings without active stations on band just on
right time. This concerns me as well as others."<<<<<
I've been on 160 nearly every night since september, from as little as
30
minutes a night to 4-5 hours. i know others are listening as well, because
i hear occasional tune-ups and accidental keying.
when and how should a 160 dx'er "MAKE ACTIVITY"? i was told and have
read
that the 160 dx'er should "listen listen listen". i'm currently listening
on 1.824 for a61aj. i could call cq, but that would mess things up for others
many thanks and 73
