The irony is that if more of the people that complain about activity only
being on FT8 these days actually came on the band on CW, there would be more
activity !

What amazes me most is that so many of you guys in the USA have invested in
fantastic setups for 160m . . . huge towers, full-sized radial fields,
amazing receive antennas (like proper beverages or phased vertical arrays) -
things that most of us here in Britain (like me) with our tiny gardens could
only dream of . . . and yet those stations rarely seem to make an appearance
on Top Band !
