Good thinking Paul but some of us aren’t allowed on 160 yet....Tho on RX I had you as 5/9+10 ZRX was around 5/8 with a bit of QSB, HJ was a good 20 over.Maybe I should pull the book back out of the cupboard in the Ute and start studying again....

Hi all,
Thanks for taking NCS last night Mark - atrocious band
conditions... the ONLY stations that were really good at my
location were 3KMG - 5km away, and 3FDAA in Mildura.
John 3ZRX was marginal.
I asked for ZRX to meet me on 160M, he suggested 1.830. Copy was
good, but I had a noise on that frequency, so QSY to 1.835. Good
copy - 4/9 was his report.
After the contact with John, 3HJ Luke (an old friend from many
years ago), then 3YE and 3NE called in - ALL 5/9+10 or more.
Excellent copy from Chelsea to Gisbourne...
The point is, 80 Mtr was S..t! for the second week. 160 is an
alternative. Graham, 3KMG reported that he could hear the other
stations on 160, but couldnt TX. as only a 80Mtr antenna.
Anyhow, those with 160 on the band selector, would be good to
research an antenna?
I was using 100w and a full wave loop - but the loop is only 4 mtr
above ground and following the slope of the yard (significant).
Thanks
Paul Whitaker.

Hi all,
Many thanks to all taking the time to check
in on the 80M net last night. Would someone please bring back
the band! It was tough going again as you can see from the
signals below. John 3ZRX was the strongest after increasing
power and the other 59’s where really just what my noise floor
was.
Please stay at home, mask up and keep safe.
