Nice job Alan! Many hams are now using those inexpensive filters so
they can share their Beverages among three bands without switching.
And -- as you noted -- the 160 meter filter does a good job significantly
reducing the signal level of AM broadcast stations below 1600 kHz.

Hi Frank, I built three sets of your filters for 160, 80 and 40 for my beverage
system so that three stations can use any beverage at the same time like we
talked about. I live about 8 miles from WFBR in Glen Burnie now transmitting on
1590KHz. I cannot hear them with the filters in! Tnx again.

Conditions were moderately good last evening (NA time) to Europe. I got on at
my SS and then again later in the evening and put 32 EUs (CW) in the log
including some call signs I?ve not heard from in several years. The A50BOC
crew have been active and are trying hard on the low bands. This morning they
were QRV on 1826.5 (QSX up 1) and 1836 on FT-8 somewhat taking turns with
modes. About four NA stations that I?m aware of had success on CW. They were
also on 7002 and 60m (FT-8 I believe). . .so they?ve been busy and are clearly
making a serious effort. They have been working on improving their Beverages.
Good luck to all who need them. 73. . .Merry Christmas/Happy

A5 guys were on both CW and FT-8 this morning,? signals that direction
not too good it seemed.
There was decent activity on CW and FT-8 was unreal,? today the band was
open over the pole,
not skew path,? right over the pole,? and say what you want,? it was
shades of 2008-2009 era.
Tons of Eu and Russian Eu/Asia,?? QSB was fast and deep,? one second
would be +0 and next
transmission it would be -20.?? Worked a number of stations, but had a
blast listening to KL7SB
he came on and there were 10 to 15 callers at a time, he was giving good
reports and this
continued for some time,? he was still going at it 30 mins after sunrise
here,
Myself I could still work EU on QSB peaks 30 to 45 mins after sunrise.?
One of the memorable
160 openings.
I am hopeful next season will be even better,? I think the lowest is yet
to come,? and even perhaps
2021 before the upturn starts.

Didn't know about the FT8 activity on 1836, though I certainly knew about the
1826.5+ lineup. Did anyone get them digitally from NA?

Bruce,
Callsign? did you work him?
There are no RBN Skimmer hits
nor any DX cluster spots when searched on DXscape.
nor any VY0 mentioned on the ON4KST chat page w/I the last 2 days.
Tnx

There was a VY0 calling CQ on 1826.5 last evening. Looked it up as an
afterthought and its very far north in Canada. Unfortunately he did
not get any callers.

Mike,
Did not write down his complete call, Strange propagation, no one called him.
No explanation. Only posted it in case someone wanted to listen on that freq
tonight. Listened many times it was very readable, and it was a Vy zero. Did
not call him. Having some transmitter prob, Q3 in the K3 is shorted. trying to
get a signal out is a chore. Looking for a Temp cure..

I am very calm Bruce.
All I did was ask questions and presented some facts & results from some
searches I did.
If you say you heard a VY0 CQing on 160m and did not write down his call nor
remember it, who am I to say
what happened in your shack?
Yes, I have experienced spotlight propagation on all bands from 2m through
160m. Some quite unbelievable.

Well as several people have posted, conditions on Top Band are pretty good
most nights at present . . . but not a lot of activity !
So come on guys, let's see if we can get lots of stations on the band at the
same time (especially those that complain that there are very few REAL QSOs
going on, only FT8 !)
And it certainly helps if you hear anyone calling CQ to Spot them on the DX
Cluster.
I should be on from around 2300Z tomorrow evening.

Hi All -
Three members of the "Association des Radio Amateurs Tunisiens - ARAT" are
traveling to Algeria to conduct a joint Low Bands DXpedition with five
members of the "Amateurs Radio Algeriens - ARA" from December 28th 2019 to
January 2nd 2020 during which the operators will be focusing on working as
many stations as possible on 160 and 80m as well as the other HF bands.
