Top band and ten metres have been "dead" for several weeks. :-(( On Saturday evening 160 was a hotbed of activity - all around Europe on 'Phone and some transatlantic on cw. Similar scene on 10m on Sunday morning. It's like the pub on Tuesdays - no-one goes there because it's dead [because no-one goes there!!] :-)) Bryan and, -----Original Message----- From: hamilton mal To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Date: 14 July 2003 19:37 Subject: LF: PROP PREDICTIONS Over the years in spite of poor propogation predictions I have worked some good DX on 160 metres at these times. The predictions mean that things could be better and just a rough guide, it is seldom that communications are a total wipe out and the same applies to LF. Dont get scared just plug away and you will be surprised what you can work. de Mal/G3KEV
