[AMRadio] 160m anyone?

[Rob Atkinson]

I listened last night and only heard slopbucket.  Coincidentally a G
land fellow complained to the topband reflector about the dearth of
American activity on CW.    Can't speak for everyone but I had some
idea, mistaken I guess, that things would work better after the time
change in 2 1/2 weeks.  The effect would be local sunset 1 hour
sooner.   Anyway lately, I've been sick and this weekend I have my
brother coming to visit.

Also, I've heard reports of 75 m. activity down band on around 3650,
3700, and so on, but every time I tune down there which is early
evening I don't hear any AM.

73
