V5/DL3DXX was very weak copy here But he returned prompt. First time I lost him in QSB
Could QSO in one of the rare QSB peaks Dietmar did receive better on his end
Real report ? 415 519 but everyone give 599
Not copied on my K9AY in any direction
No recording since it took to long
using the K3 200Hz rooftop filter did not help
The best copy was 400Hz on the TX i-L vertical
This confirmed my impression that the K9AY does only help me in NE NW directions.
And also the experience that when hearing weak CW in USB 2.7kHz.
It does not really improve to switch to narrow CW filter.
I might even lose the signal when doing that.
When I just got my K3 I tried the NR noise reducer with all its many settings but never found the magic combination.
I rarely use it does anyone use the K3 NR for low band DX ? My ears still beat DSP noise reducing and filtering.
In a crowded band a narrow filter is indispensable but else I prefer wide filters.
A 2nd new one ZS6EZ was easy copy here, sometimes "strong" in the context of the 160m terms..

A lot of EU's just calling over pending QSO or not using split.
Typical EU undisciplined operators including the one's you wouldn't expect to do.
High QRN in the tropic regions. KV4FZ complained about not being heard. But he him self is one of the hard ones to get trough at 160. Often heard with long cq's in a big EU pile.
ZS6EZ had heavy QRN by t-storm and could not copy much that was clear.
This was the first time I was heard in ZS on 160m
ZS1REC and ZS4LS ? heard well but no QSO yet high QRN
