Looking at an IQ file I made this AM of #CQWW160, and while I planned to "cheat" w/ DX Cluster to find any DX, I found one station not spotted: #N2TTT on 1985.1 kHz LSB.

His work shows how challenging DXing can be on #TopBand. He tried to work #OK2BFN yet was rogered w/ call misheard as OK2BON.

I struggled to copy him too. Took me several listens to hear Delta Echo in his report

My 1st DE on MF (none on MW) 💡

Wow, I've just found a station in war-torn #Ukraine! #UT6UD, Vadym in Kyiv. Deserves an award of its own! 💙💛 #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio #160m #CQWW #CQWW160 #contest #mediumwave #mwdx

Isn't it remarkable that the 160m SSB contesters are actually filling in the whole band, to the point there's NO CW? And somebody's even on 1809.5 kHz LSB, which, I think, is out-of-band here in IARU R1 🤣 #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio #160m #CQWW #CQWW160 #contest #mediumwave #mwdx

Looks like there are no ruZZians in the #CQWW160 Contest, SSB part. You know what it means... the band is open for DX 🙃

Heard Shandong PBS on 918, HLCA on 972, and CNR5 on 1116 kHz, although I did NOT hear more usual CNR1 on 1377 kHz... so I hope the ionosphere makes up its mind about higher MF frequencies 😉 #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio #160m #mediumwave #mwdx

Now on my SDR in 🇵🇱, looks like I have to move to 160m and the #CQWW160 Contest running, to find some neat DX - and I do find #JT1YO on 1843 kHz @ 1514z, all the way from Mongolia 🇲🇳❗ Very fady signal & had to confirm his callsign by matching to a naZi ruZZian #KiwiSDR 🤮 where local noise makes his audio distorted (really it's fine elsewhere). Noted moved to 1844 CW by 1522z #mediumwave #mwdx #hamradio #160m

BTW, CQ WW 160m Contest, the CW part, starts in 2 hours 🔔

As a #MWDX'er, 160m is a natural addition to chasing those broadcast stations, often trans-continental, which is a real challenge on receive side... but way more so on transmit side.

So good luck to all participants! Come & fill that band with good DX 😁 #hamr #hamradio #CQWW #CQWW160
