First CQWW 160 for me and had a great time. By the wee hours of the first night,
it was a struggle to find new calls. On the second night, calling seemed a good
strategy but finding a spot was almost impossible other than at the high end of
the band where the L wasn't as happy. Just two 100' radials and a couple hundred
feet of chain link fence under the antenna -- may have to beef up the system for
next time.
Kept hoping to run across KY, LA, ME, RI, and maybe KL7, but nothing heard.
Maritime provinces were just rare from this end of the country.
This is a fun one. Glad to have a basic 160m antenna at last -- it'll get plenty
of use.
