Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon, Friday (no) TPs

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Interestingly, the topband list (160m amateur radio operators) has 
recent reports of good long haul (including long path) DX.

Most nights there are very weak MW TA carriers  here in western 
Canada, which indicate low geomagnetic activity, but they never 
develop.  Guess our frequencies are too low to take advantage of the 
quiet geomagnetic conditions of the last while.  We need the low 
solar activity as well; and maybe it being some time other than 
midwinter (as in anomaly, which doesn't seem as dominant on 160m as 
it is on MW).


best wishes,

Nick
