750 - 800W output from a homebrew antler tuner (probably 100 - 150 watts
loss), 160m inverted L sloping up from ground some 30 feet from the base
of a 38-foot support tower, then horizontal-sloping top wire toward the
SE, 20 feet high at the end. 4 120 foot radials spread out west to east
on the north side of the sloping vertical wire. Chainlink fence 125 feet
square to the south of the radials, also connected to the feedline
shield. QTH is in the middle of the desert of SoCal. I can forward a
drawing but this reflector doesn't allow them. I laid out this antenna
originally specifically to work 9M2AX, which it did (but only after he
reached S8). No separate RX amtler(s) at present.

if you had a CW QSO with VP2VI on 160m , please tell me what did you use as TX
antenna and how much power?
Thanks, Andy DL8LAS @ VP2VI
