Regarding your comments, Mike VE9AA . . . I appreciate I may not be one of the biggest signals on the band (although I did get several S9+ reports from NA over this weekend). . . but the point I was making was that there were several of the big EU stations on the band too, and they were getting very few replies, even though conditions were pretty good !
And secondly, if anything, last winter a lot MORE North American stations were coming on for my suggested Wednesday CW Activity Night than on a typical weekend. (hence my suggesting it . . . as I say, I figured people might be busy with family at the weekend) In the recent Stew Perry contest, I worked dozens of NA stations that you never normally hear on the band. These stations obviously put out a good enough signal to get through the very strong EU contest QRM, so must have a pretty decent 160m setup . . . yet most of the time they are pretty inactive. 73 Roger G3YRO _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
