According to the Topband reflector, European
conditions to the midwest (and further west) have
been good on 1.8MHz. What say the MW
DXers? (carrier noted on 1215 again last night
on Vancouver Island, but not much else)
best wishes,

Superb conditions to EU from IL last night as well. Definitely the best
top band conditions I've experienced.

Conditions to EU were better than I have seen so far this season I was only
on from 0430-0500z, but even that was impressive.
Tom 4O/KC0W was very loud. In fact, he was louder than he is at our sunset
peak.

Greetings Topbanders. . .
I got on the air on TB late last evening about 11:00 p.m. Central
Standard
Time and had a pleasant surprise. I had been QRV 160 earlier in the
evening and found conditions to EU to be poor (when I have trouble
copying
SV3RF, F5IN, HA8RM, etc., things are bad). However, I got back on later
having suspicions that maybe conditions were beginning to improve so I
started calling CQ. I was pleasantly surprised and ended up working 32
EU
stations (not a bad run from here in the Midwest). It wasnÃâât a
continuous
run as I stopped to tune around from time to time to see what else might
be
going on. I could have worked more stations but was tired and went to
bed.
The real surprise was well over half the EU stations worked were either
new
call signs for 160m or all time new call signs. I was careful to make
sure
I was getting call signs accurately so
IÃââm confident the ÃâÅuniqueÃâ call
signs were indeed valid. As we get further
into the season IÃââve noticed
the past week or so this pattern of improving conditions as EU SR
approaches. It most definitely has not always been that way this season
here in Iowa. In any case, it might pay for you stateside guys to stay
up
a little late as EU seems to waiting.
73 and compliments of the Season. . .Dave, W0FLS
